All staffs are very kind and they provided high quality of services. Onsen was great and also Kaiseki dinner was awesome and delicious. Stay at Okuno Hosomichi was an unforgettable time for us. At the room there were various snacks, fruits and drinks. Thank you and we will stay again when we visit Arima Onsen once again.

The facilities are very perfect. Ie. shuttle bus from/to hotel to train station and ropeway, varieties of gold and silver onsens in one place are stunning we didn’t have to go other onsens to try both of them. Dinner and breakfast are excellence. Staffs at front and dining room are very professional and great service mind.

Traditional ryokan with small onsen as part of the hotel. They are private onsen, so you can go there as a couple / family. Definitely recommend to book the dinner even if it seems bit expensive. It is worth it! Best experience we had in Japan.

Absolutely everything was fantastic from start the finish. The staff worked hard to provide us with a wonderful stay. The rooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable, of particular note the massage chair was fantastic. The Onsen itself was warm and comforting, and having a Sauna in addition to it was a nice touch. Both meals we had, Breakfast and Dinner were absolutely delicious. Additionally, it's quite an easy walk from the train station compared to other Onsens in the area, so if travelling with a lot of luggage it could be a good option.

I spent two nights here with my husband. This was our second ryokan experience and Negiya set the bar sky-high. Here are a few of the many things we loved about Negiya: 1. The service: Every single member of the staff from arrival to departure has been delightful, attentive, compassionate and dedicated to our well-being. We had the pleasure of interacting with a great number of employees from drivers to managers and we were honestly speechless after several encounters. The kindness was unlike anything we have experienced back home. 2. The food: During our stay we had two different kaiseki dinners that were like two culinary adventures. Everything was neatly arranged and the tastes were both delicious and bold at times. We especially enjoyed our dinners - but the breakfasts were also formidable. It would have been great with an explanation as to what was on our plates, but our waitress did her absolute best trying to answer all our curious questions. 3. The building and facilities: We really wanted a glimpse of a traditional Japanese ryokan and Negiya delivered that and more. Our room had beautiful tatami mats a nice view of green mountains and tree tops. The two onsens were great as well although we preferred Higurashi over Daiyokujyo because it seemed newer and more serene. We paid 3300 yen for a private onsen one night which was a pleasant experience. The whole place has an authentic feel which we both prefer to a modern one. Your priorities may differ. At the time of writing we have just left Negiya and are waiting for the Shinkansen. We wish we could truly express our gratitude to the staff and hope that this review will shed some light on how pleased we are. All the best wishes from Christopher and Emma from Denmark and Sweden.

    The ryokan is small, it has only a few rooms, so you can feel private there. The food was beyond great, tasty and the portions were large. The onsen was clean, with a great outdoor pool. Since the hotel is small, you had complete privacy in the onsen. The service was top notch. The ladies took care of us like their own members of the family. I recommend this place.

    The outdoor private onsens were amazing. Booking them was easy and there was always availability. It's really not necessary to get the in-room onsen. The yukata and japanese pj's which were provided were also great quality. I now regret not buying some :) There are some great hiking trails and a hilltop shrine near the hotel, which are very quiet and secluded.
