We"ve been visiting Arima-onsen and Hanamusubi for several times already and this town and ryokan is always special to us. We always feel home at this ryokan by the friendly, polite and professional staff. Our favorite room with our own private onsen is just amazing and has all the amenities we need for our short stays. To really enjoy the town, the onsen water and this ryokan, highly suggest to stay at least two days to enjoy different kind of breakfasts and dinners served. Thank you to the staff of Hanamusibi and looking forward to visit you again soon.

We stayed in Room 杉 on with a private open-air bath on April 15, and this was our second time visiting this property—our last stay was about 8 years ago. It was such a joy to return. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Both meals were absolutely delicious, with the clams being a definite highlight! We also noticed some thoughtful upgrades since our last visit, like the addition of remote-controlled lighting and TV, as well as extra blinds around the private bath area for added privacy. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming throughout our stay. We arrived on a rainy day, and they kindly arranged to pick us up near the bus station, which we really appreciated. It was also a lovely touch that they offer complimentary drinks and snacks in the lobby. On top of that, we received a gift card with our booking, which we enjoyed using at the gift shop. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this hotel. We’re already looking forward to hopefully returning again in the near future.

We had a private onsen room and it was a Kin-sen ("golden coloured hot spring water"). Temperature was good, and is constantly running. We had dinner and japanese breakfast served to us inside our room. Check out was a bit early at 10am, so that clashed a bit with our late breakfast and trying to get a last bath in while the staff wanted to clean up our breakfast set up at the same time. The massage chair was nice and the futon on the tatami was super comfortable (with choice of pillow). The coffee bar was nice, with some snacks during guest staying hours (after 4pm and before 10am). It's a bit further from the bus station, so didn't explore too much (it was rainy too), but there's a shuttle that's available on request. We had to use a pay phone to call as we had data-only plans. They can also shuttle you from the ropeway or train station. All in all, a nice relaxing and quiet place to unwind and soak in a wonderful onsen.

Amazing experience. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the meal is delicious if you are into traditional Japanese style meal set. We had private spring room and it's really good. One thing to notice is that the hotel needs to confirm some details in advance, like selecting meal time if it's booked. Due to technical problem with hotels.com, they can't receive the response message, so I need to call them directly. I asked my previous hotel front desk to help and it's very smooth. Otherwise you will choose at check in but your preferred time slot might not be available.

It’s out of my expectation, it’s very very clean and the staff team is very polite, helpful and most of the front desk staffs speak English. We enjoyed the Onsen inside our room very much which is big enough for two of us. However, I m not very happy with the dinner as there are only 3 slices of Wagyu beef which is way too little. The breakfast is ok. On the other hand, the front desk need to upgrade their sense of security to customers’ luggage temporarily stored behind. The security needs to be improved. I left my luggage with the reception and they just left it around the reception corner. No ticket-butt was given to me for storage of luggage. Anyone go up to the reception and point to the luggage they will give it to you without identification check, security needs to be improved in this regard.
