Private onsen in Arima Onsen

Hyogo — 有馬温泉

Arima Onsen: a private onsen of your own

16 stays with a private bath · About 30 min from Kobe / 1 h from Osaka

One of Japan's oldest spring towns, folded into the hills behind Kobe, famous for golden water that runs rust-red with iron.

381 dining spots and 73 places to stay are counted in 神戸市北区 — the bath is one part of the evening, not the whole of it.

Every property listed here has a private bath — a reservable private bath or an open-air bath in your own room — so tattoos are a non-issue, and so is privacy.

Private bath ≠ onsen bath. A reservable bath can be filled with plain hot water. We check what actually fills the tub at every property here, and print it when it is not spring water. How we tell real onsen water →
