Mountain View Hotels in Kobe

"Great place, I was very pleased! I'd love to come back again. Location: The bus to Arima stops at the bridge, from there it's a 10-15 minute uphill climb, three flights of stairs. It's inconvenient if you have large suitcases; it's best to leave them somewhere. The hotel has a very atmospheric atmosphere, and the view from the veranda is stunning. Amenities: They give one pass to the onsen (golden onsen), it's 5 minutes away, and it's fantastic (don't forget to bring masks and lotions; I didn't see any in the onsen itself). I went there in my hotel yukata, although I haven't seen anyone like it anywhere else 😁 The hotel itself is clean, has all the necessary amenities, and the futon is super soft – I slept wonderfully. The building and furniture are not new, but for a ryokan of this type, that's understandable. Service: The hostess speaks Japanese and Chinese; her English isn't great, but it's perfectly adequate for basic needs. I didn't bring any food, I stayed for one night in a room (8) on the ground floor - it was spacious, with a view from the window of a fence with ivy, but this didn't spoil the atmosphere, as the room was quite sunny."
