Nakanobo Zuien (Adult Only), hotel in Kobe

Set in the Arima Onsen district of Kobe, Nakanobo Zuien (Adult Only) is 9 km from Mt. Rokko and 21 km from Mount Maya.

The Kinsen hotspring was fantastic. I had visited numerous hotspring places; the Kinsen hotspring quality in this hotel was the best. The semi-outdoor Kinsen hotspring bath inside the hotel room was fabulous. The hotel room was very comfortable, clean, spacious, and quiet. I greatly appreciated the check in time of 2pm and check out time of 12 noon. This allowed me to enjoy the hotel facilities without feeling rushed. The hotel location was great, less than 5 minutes walk to the town centre and the train station. Free shuttle bus service was available. The service provided by the hotel staff was excellent, warm, and personalised; certainly first class. The hotel was a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate our mind, body and soul. Overall, our experience was truly wonderful.

    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.

    The Japanese style room was spacious and well equipped. The check-in was super easy, and the staff were informative and friendly. The location is in the heart of Arima Onsen. Dressed in your yukata, winter jacket, and clogs (graciously supplied by the hotel), you are a few steps away from the well-known Kin no Yu Onsen and foot bath. The futons were super comfortable, too, giving you a restful nights sleep.
