Mountain view Hotels in Kobe

The hotel is located next to the Rokko Mountain Ranch and offers a shuttle bus (3200 yen per trip) from JR Rokko Station (one stop from Sannomiya Station). The journey takes only about 20 minutes, which is much more convenient and faster for a family with luggage than taking two cable cars and two buses up the mountain, which takes an hour and a half, and the price is about the same. Dinner is a choice of BBQ (5500 yen/person) or sukiyaki (4500 yen/person). Children under 4 years old are half price. For details, you can contact the hotel by email; staff always reply. The rooms have kitchen facilities, but next time it would be more satisfying to buy meat from the supermarket and bring it for a barbecue. Breakfast is average; it would be nice if they had fresh milk from the ranch. The cabins are very comfortable and clean, with first-class facilities. The staff speaks excellent English, and I would definitely choose to bring my kids here for summer vacation again.

The room is large and well-equipped. The gold bath in the room is a little small, but the public bath is OK. It is very comfortable with few people. The hotel's kaiseki cuisine is very unique.

I don't speak Japanese, only a little English, so I was worried I wouldn't understand the check-in explanation. To my surprise, I actually understood it, and the staff member who explained everything was very thoughtful with their language. There's a shuttle service, and if you don't speak Japanese and want the driver to pick you up, you can ask for help at the Arima Town Tourist Information Center.

A heartwarming and thoughtful mountain hotel experience. This hotel stay completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of genuine hospitality – there was a dedicated shuttle service directly from the station to the hotel, saving me the hassle of dragging my luggage around. The next day, I planned to explore the hot spring town at the foot of the mountain. The hotel proactively offered to store my luggage and deliver it to the station at the bottom of the mountain at the agreed time, completely freeing up my hands. The food was surprisingly delicious, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful pairings. The room was clean and comfortable, meticulously cleaned daily, and the common areas were also spotless. The service throughout was attentive yet unobtrusive. From the shuttle arrangements to the luggage storage, everything was efficient and heartwarming. It's truly perfect for travelers planning a hot spring trip. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit.

Perfect quiet onsen resort to unwind and relax. The kaiseki dinner was a highlight and buffet breakfast offered a great variety. Onsen is not too big, not crowded during our stay but probably will if it gets busy. The room was a decent size with good air conditioning and being away from the busy streets made for a peaceful stay. The only downside was the bathtub leaked whenever we showered. Free parking is available, though it’s located underneath the property so it’s best to drop off your bags first if you have a lot of luggage.

Extremely satisfied with my stay! The service was excellent, the location was great, and the surroundings were beautiful. Being able to enjoy the hot springs was a huge plus. It was a very pleasant experience, and I'm looking forward to staying here again next time.

Not a bad experience. The hotel provides free round-trip transfer service, but you can only contact the hotel from 1430 on the day of arrival. Dinner is kaiseki cuisine, mainly fish dishes, and you need to walk to the sister hotel nearby (1-2 minutes away) to enjoy it. Breakfast is a set meal and you need to stay in the hotel to eat. The open-air hot spring included in the room is very good and the hygiene level is satisfactory. Other details (including seasonal menus) can be viewed in advance on the hotel's official website.

In addition to free drinks, juice and coffee, red wine and white wine are provided every afternoon, allowing guests to soak in the hot spring bath to relax their body, mind and soul and enjoy a leisurely and carefree travel experience.

The hotel is located in a somewhat remote area on a mountain, but they offer a shuttle service. We called the hotel from the visitor center, and a car arrived within minutes. Since we had stayed at another onsen hotel the previous night with luggage storage, we asked the driver if he could take us to collect our luggage before checking into Arima Princess Hotel. He readily agreed. The service was excellent. The hotel has indoor red bath (lighter) and silver bath, but unfortunately, there's no open-air bath. They also took us to the station when we left.

The room is very nice and comfortable, a few blocks away from the main attractions . The hotel has amenities like a restaurant and a very big onsen at the upper floor, I really enjoyed my staying there and I would stay there again. 👍
