♨️Ten detached villas on a former temple site, each with flowing Arima gold spring

Hyogo · Arimasanso Gosho Bessho

From Temple to Hotel, 350 Years On
1

From Temple to Hotel, 350 Years On

  • ⛩️Kiyomizu-dera on the Arima hillside, a 17th-century autumn-leaf spot among Arima's 12 views, became the foreigners-only Kiyomizu Hotel in the 19th century and was reborn as Gosho Bessho in the 21st.
  • 🏯It is run by Kanai Shirobei, 15th-generation head of Tosen Goshobo, Arima Onsen's oldest inn.
  • 🎨Design was overseen by artist Kosuke Watanuki, highly regarded in Portugal and southern Europe.
In-Room Onsen and a Treehouse Bath
2

In-Room Onsen and a Treehouse Bath

  • ♨️All 10 room baths draw Arima hot spring from the Gosho and Netami sources, flowing fresh thanks to a custom distribution system introduced in 2010.
  • 🪺'Corvo de Ouro' is billed as the world's first treehouse-style hot spring, a gold-spring open-air bath inspired by the myth of three crows that found Arima Onsen.
  • 🛁The detached bathhouse 'Tosen' changes by time slot between men's, women's, mixed bathing in bathing wear and private use; photography is not allowed.
100㎡ Detached Suites

100㎡ Detached Suites

  • 🏡All 10 rooms are detached villas of 100㎡ or more, each with a gold-spring bath and a low-temperature sauna 'Thermal Room'.
  • 🌲Sanso types are single-storey wooden villas with high ceilings facing Kiyomizu Pond; Takigawa types are two-storey maisonettes with a spiral staircase facing the Takigawa stream.
  • 🛏️Rooms have beds, with Japanese-made bathrobes, loungewear and towels, and each has a wooden deck.
Yamaga Kaiseki

Yamaga Kaiseki

  • 🍽️Dinner is 'Yamaga Kaiseki', creative Japanese cuisine themed on cosmopolitan Meiji-era Arima.
  • 🥩The signature is steak of 'Tajima-gen', a special brand within Kobe beef.
  • 🐟Vegetables come from around Arima and wild seafood from Akashi and the Seto Inland Sea; it is the only ryokan in Kobe permitted at Akashi-ura fishing port.
Dining Facing Autumn Hills

  • 🐟Vegetables come from around Arima and wild seafood from Akashi and the Seto Inland Sea; it is the only ryokan in Kobe permitted at Akashi-ura fishing port.

Every room is a 100㎡ detached villa with a free-flowing hot spring bath and a low-temperature sauna, so you can enjoy Arima's gold spring privately. Note that rooms are bed-style rather than tatami, and the treehouse-bath villa has no roof and does not accept children.
