Taketoritei Maruyama

Great place to go take your parents. Stayed in a room that had our own private onsen bath and it was great. Shuttle bus service was nice bc you could shuttle to the city and you can text them when you're ready to go back. The ryokan is not walkable distance. The outdoor onsens did have bugs but that's expected bc it's open. Very quiet and good place to heal. The food was very healthy, a little too healthy for my taste.

The location and the private onsens we liked everything

everything

It was impeccably clean and the service was outstanding. The eight reservable baths were gorgeous. The Japanese futons were very padded and comfortable. It was also so lovely that they had a shuttle service that was very accommodating. Nothing

Loved the outdoor private onsen. Loved the kaiseki dinner. Enjoyed my room onsen as well.

The staff's willingness to help and make you feel at home. When we checked in we got asked whether we wanted to make a reservation for one of the private Onsen, so we did and had a really relaxing stay. I had room 311 with a private Onsen, it was very spacious, the beds really comfortable and the Onsen was filled and ready for our arrival. The view from the window was very relaxing and something very rare to come by in a hotel. Truthfully i liked everything except for a few minor details regarding cleanliness, which bumps this place down for me from a perfect score to a great score. For a room that's 580 a night, i expected it to be spotless.

Nothing

Shuttle service is amazing. Private onsen are beautiful It's a bit further up the hill but even that is mitigated by the great fast and convenient free shuttle service they offer.

Great stay

The hotel is small and intimate. It is on a hill above the town, and the hotel provides shuttle service to and from. The meals, though not cheap, are incredible. You should try the 11-course omikase dinner as well as the wonderful multi-dish breakfast. The room is large- both the side against the hills and the city-view side provide great backdrops. The lobby is surprisingly large, and the staff is great. Best of all are the baths-private and both indoor and outdoor settings. Being able to go from a silver to a gold bath is wonderful, and it is easy to make the 45-minute reservations. Real therapeutic value. I definitely would come back here. And I hadn't realized that the bigger city of Kobe is less than 1/2 hour away by bus. Can't think of anything. This hotel is very well-run.

Justin was super helpful and made everything easy for us. The onsens were lovely! Beautiful views and gardens at this special historic hotel. Wonderful meals.

If you wish to experience staying in the Japanese style hotel with tatami beds and a free access to the hot spa, the Arima Onsen Taketoritei Maruyama hotel is the best choice. It is a nicely equipped hotel, with the private hot spring bath facility - 8 different pools. Suitable for couples or families with one or two children. Nice and a quite place to stay for a relaxing holiday.

Oh my goodness, I could go on forever about this beautiful hotel. We wanted to have a night at a Ryokan, and we both have tattoos so we were hoping for one with an onsen on sight so that we could experience the hot springs. The private onsens are GORGEOUS, and so luxurious to have them all to yourself! We got to wear the traditional dress that they provided, and were cared for for everything/anything we wanted, including suggesting dinner and driving us anywhere we needed! The futons on the tatami mats are exceptionally comfortable, and I slept wonderfully. My skin was so soft for days afterwards from the hot springs and the lovely lotion they provide. Our booked room unfortunately had a very little, very sad infant next door who was crying a lot. I am very sensitive to noise (especially kid noises), so we inquired if there were any other rooms available so that we could be sure to relax. We got very lucky, as there was one room left, and the front desk moved us over right away! It was then quiet and wonderful. So possibly slightly thin walls, but honestly infant cries really do work their way through any wall, and they were incredibly helpful about it.

Attentive staff, excellent facilities and amenities. Loved the traditional Japanese breakfast served in my room. Easy to reserve hot bath rooms. Complimentary shuttle was great. Wish I stayed longer! Nothing

Beautiful and well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff They told us we could walk around town in our spa outfits but no one else was LOL

I really enjoyed my stay. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff were extremely polite and always ready to help with anything. The hot springs were absolutely wonderful and very relaxing. The breakfast was also very delicious and well-prepared.

Private onsen for the family was the highlight for us. Both indoors and outdoors. Such a special and beautiful place. We loved every moment of our time and would not change a thing.

Everything. It was amazing Absolutely nothing

Food was impeccable. Both breakfast meals and the kaiseki dinner provided were phenomenal. Nothing. We loved every moment. It was a catered experience that surpassed our expectations.

Onsens are lovely and easy to access. Shuttle service very efficient. Decor in places felt a bit dated
