Initially email communication was misleading , you actually don’t need to request for shuttle fr the San Bandai bus from Osaka. The airport shuttle stops n pickup from there. We stayed 2 nights, no need to book private, the 9Fand B2 baths were great, the interactive Kaiseri dinners were excellent, the breakfast was so good, we skipped lunch both days. Spouse making plans to go back next year. We requested the Japanese style rooms and enjoyed it despite tough getting up fr the floor due to my titanium knees

Taketoritei Maruyama is a non-smoking Japanese-style accommodation featuring natural hot spring baths for private use and free Wi-Fi throughout the property.

Love the onsens. We managed to try 3 out of the 8 onsen during our one night trip. There were free flowing apple juice, coffee and hot choclate at the lobby. You can also asks staff to drive you to certain areas. Super convenient.

The hotel is an amazing place to relax and enjoy a short stay. The staff was friendly and warm. The room was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The public bath was amazing with the wonderful view of colorful trees. The breakfast was amazing. We had a memorable stay in Arima onsen. Hope we can repeat it.

Great room with a nice view. Private open-air onsen was really enjoyable. Staff was very attentive and their hospitality was really on a high level. My wife had a birthday so the hotel managed to prepare a nice gift for her - amazing! The food... oh the food... Chef Ota-san and his crew have managed to prepare one of the most enjoyable feasts I've ever had. Big thanks to everybody involved in preparation of such culinary joy! My next visit in Arima will surely be here again!

Our stay was genuinely enjoyable thanks to a mix of thoughtful amenities and charming design. - The location was incredibly convenient - perfect for exploring the area and just a short walk to the nearby onsen. - The building itself has a cool heritage vibe, beautifully maintained and full of character. - Our room was both private and spacious, offering a level of comfort that made it easy to relax - Parking was a breeze: all-day access for just 1000 yen, and the hotel even arranged pickup and drop-off from the carpark. - The staff were fantastic - friendly and proactive. They helped us arrange luggage delivery to our next hotel, which made our travel much smoother.

Our family of 3 had an absolutely fantastic experience during my stay! From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The hotel personnel spoke fluent English, making communication smooth and welcoming. I was greeted with a welcome drink that included local beer—a lovely touch—and local snacks that gave a taste of the region right from the start. The attention to detail throughout the hotel was truly impressive. The thoughtfully curated toiletries and the uniquely designed key card showed just how much care went into every aspect of the guest experience. One of the highlights was the in-room customized board games, which added a fun and personal touch. I was especially amazed by the toy museum spread across three floors—it was whimsical, nostalgic, and completely free for guests to explore. Every corner held a new surprise, and I could’ve spent hours more there. My daughter could bear to leave. The complimentary onsen was another wonderful perk—clean, relaxing, and the perfect way to end a day of exploring. I genuinely wish I had stayed longer. This hotel offers more than just a place to sleep—it offers an experience, full of charm, creativity, and thoughtful hospitality. Highly recommended!
