有馬温泉ラコンテ有馬
8,7/10 Excellent - Based on 186 reviews
Set on the wooded slopes above Arima Onsen, 有馬温泉ラコンテ有馬 opened in October 2024 as a compact mountain hideaway with 14 guest rooms. The property blends contemporary design with traditional ryokan elements: tatami-floored Japanese-style rooms and Western twin-bed options, many with private balconies. Public bathing facilities include an indoor thermal pool, an open-air rotenburo and a communal onsen area; a small indoor pool, sauna and whirlpool extend the wellness offering, making this a ryokan with onsen in Kobe. Rooms provide air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi‑Fi.
Dining centres on seasonal kaiseki and a buffet-style breakfast that highlights local seafood and vegetable produce, with evening menus served in a dining room arranged for small parties rather than large banquets. A compact lounge offers complimentary drinks and a manga corner, and staff assist with local arrangements such as guided walks and visits to nearby temples and cultural spots. Recreational extras include table tennis and massage chairs, and practical amenities cover on-site parking and luggage-handling for drive-in visitors.
As a 14-room property the atmosphere leans toward quiet privacy and attentive service, suited to couples and small groups seeking a wellness-focused stay. The thermal baths draw on Arima’s spring waters and the layout often lets guests enjoy soaking with minimal crowds; the mix of modern amenities and seasonal multi-course meals positions the property as a convenient base for exploring nearby hiking trails and cultural sites. For travellers seeking a ryokan with onsen in Hyōgo prefecture, this property offers a compact, service-oriented option.
