Arima Onsen Gekkoen Korokan (Ryokan)

Other than the air conditioning problem, everything is perfect. The best part is the service of the staffs. You can feel they are very much care of you. Their service made me feel I am really their VIP guest there!

The air conditioning is not working properly. It was really hot during the sleep.

Staffs were above and beyond . Dinner was eight courses , immaculate ! Breakfast was exceptional as well.

Property could use some update .

It's our first time to Arima-onsen and Gekkoen left our family an wonderful memory. At arrival, we're already embraced by the hospitality of the staff. With one single call, they picked us up at the train station in just a few minutes and welcomed us warmly at the gate. How warm! Super delicious Kaiseki Dinner and out of expectation Breakfast had brought out the very beauty of Japanese cuisine. It's a MUST-TRY besides Onsen. All 3 Onsen inside the Ryokan and her sister buildings are fantastic. Also the free massage chairs are such a suprise. They just made the whole onsen experience much more perfect. In short, I will definitely recommend Gekkoen to anyone who want to have a genuien experience of Japanese onsen and cuisine. And will revisit her if I shall go to Arima again.

It's pity that there aren't any drinks auto-selling machine inside the Ryokan building. When we finish Onsen late, we'd always like to buy some drinks but it seems we could only get some at the restuarants, or walk outside... It will be so great if such machines are equipped inside the Ryokan.
