This is my 2nd time staying here. 1st time was booked under my cousin name. I loved the friendly and welcome approached when reached the hotel entrance. They really treated us as super VIP when check in with little sweet and tea. I liked here because they have in room Onsen which i can do in privately in my room, any time and many times. I did not order any dinner, but 7-eleven and family mart is walkable. Grab and go back hotel and eat. You may ask them to send you out or pick you up but we did not use it as we want to walk around the town. The breakfast set was super good too, which we enjoyed very much. The dining room is quiet and peaceful when having breakfast. Definitely, will come back if i coming to Arima again.

Beware if your bath is onsen or tap water

Traditional and clean onsen hotel. Parking is available and the outdoor public onsen was nice. A bit disappointed to know the indoor bath in our room is only tap water not onsen.

Staying at Negiya Ryofukaku was really pleasant and relaxing. Arima Onsen is a really old town in general so the building's age really shows. However, this didn't affect our stay at all. Here are our main highlights of our stay: - we booked an overnight trip (after the night we wished we did 2 nights) in the traditional japanese room. The roombecame our favorite. It's incredibly clean, has a great view of Arima Onsen and it was perfect for the two of us. - when we booked, i didnt realize dinner wasnt included, so upon check-in we requested if we could also include dinner and luckily enough, they still had meals available (i think they only had a certain amount of food because staying at ryokans, mostly the food will be based on whats available that season) so be sure to inquire if you would like to eat in the ryokan for dinner. We were able to choose what we wanted and there was an abundance of food served. We both were incredibly full. - the hotsprings were FANTASTIC. I didnt want to go out at all haha! - breakfast IS included in our booking and the food that was served was also exceptional! - they also have a small gift shop for those that want to bring home mementos. - there was a library that had coffee, also has a pretty good view. - the staff were cordial, helpful and they really had great service. The first day of our honeymoon trip was perfect. I would definitely return and book with them, and I highly recommend staying here.

Poor customer service / Scam

contacting the JTB to file an official complaint, try to get my money back. I have stayed in Ryokans across Japan - this should not be categorized as such. booking process: did not received a confirmation for my booking via email, and no one reached out to confirm my reservation. had to contact hotel directly through a chat portal - despite the advertisement the staff spoke English, no one did. Cancellation process is purposely misleading: it says you can cancel by X day, but check the fine print: you can cancel by 12:01 AM on X day. The first of many Scammy practices. On arrival no one spoke English. One staff member speaks but if they aren’t in the office (which was only one time) you are on your own. I was told meals were “sold out” - which is to say again, there should have been a confirmation or contact ahead of time to reserve the meals? I was able to get into breakfast, I was greeted by a waitress slamming plates rudely. food portion not a “meal” Map with food led to no open places. Request for taxi response “we’ll see” leaving me with feeling of dred I’d miss flight next day. Room cleaning costs extra, one of many extra costs not advertised. No one could bring my correct shoes. At checkout bill was in Japanese with extra charges, again,not advertised. At almost 400USD a night + scam fees this was a joke. Unlike traditional Ryokans I left anxious, frustrated and feeling taken advantage of. Will be contacting Tourism Board/Hotels.com for complaint and full refund.

What a tucked away gem. It feels like a special retreat back in time. The private open air bath and traditional room were very cozy and enjoyable. The facilities are retro but well maintained. Staff were kind and the experience was unique and definitely worth it. We did the kaiseki meal and enjoyed the whole experience. I would recommend it for sure. We did not use the onsen so can’t comment. Thank for great experience.
