Arima Onsen [Hyogo Prefecture]
Nakanobo Zuien is an established luxury ryokan situated in a natural mountain setting of Arima Onsen, a popular hot spring resort with a history of approximately 1,400 years. It is located in the center of the town which is only a pleasant 30-minute bus ride from Kobe or 1-hour from Osaka. Once you step into the ryokan, you will forget the hustle and bustle of the big cities and will be able to enjoy a peaceful time in a tranquil atmosphere accompanied by the genuine hospitality of Nakanobo that has lasted for more than 150 years.
One of the pleasures of staying at Nakanobo Zuien is to soak in the two characteristic hot springs including Kinsen (gold hot spring) and Ginsen (silver hot spring), which are considered to have multiple health and beauty benefits. The hot springs can be fully enjoyed either in the large common baths, privately chartered baths, or even in some rooms.
In the evening, kaiseki cuisine made with fresh seasonal vegetables from local farms and nearby mountains and seafood from Seto Inland Sea will be served in your room or a private dining room. Enjoy your meal with local sake from Nada district, the famous sake producing region in nearby Kobe.
