Seeking Affordable Weekday Stays in Arima Onsen

• Just a 10-Minute Walk from Arima Onsen Station – Enjoy the "Silver Spring"!

• Just a 10-Minute Walk from Arima Onsen Station – Enjoy the "Silver Spring"! Maple Arima is a fantastic choice! While Arima Onsen has a lot of hills, this ryokan is only a 10-minute walk from Arima Onsen Station. It’s a gentle stroll, almost like a leisurely walk through the town (I even managed to walk to a hotel further up the hill!). They also offer a shuttle bus service from Arima Onsen Station, though reservations are required. For a weekday stay, you can snag a room-only plan for around 8,000 to 10,000 yen per person, which is incredibly cheap for Arima Onsen! There are plenty of places to eat nearby, so you can enjoy dinner out and then come back to soak in the "Silver Spring" (Ginsen), a famous Arima Onsen specialty.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

• Fresh "Gold Spring" Hot Water Directly from the Source on-Site!

  nice! 1
• I highly recommend Kamenoi Hotel Arima! It's currently closed for renovations but is scheduled to reopen in August 2025. What makes this hotel special is that it has a rare "Gold Spring" (Kinsen) source right on its premises, meaning you can enjoy incredibly fresh hot spring water! If you're not a fan of public baths, they also have rooms with open-air baths that use the Gold Spring water, so you can enjoy a private soak. While there are many dining options in Arima Onsen town, the hotel's restaurant offers course meals featuring Kobe Beef, a renowned brand of wagyu. You can savor this alongside other delicious mountain and sea delicacies from Hyogo prefecture.​​​​

• A Historic Hot Spring Ryokan with 700 Years of Tradition!

  nice! 1
• I confidently recommend Hyoe Koyokaku, arguably the most famous hot spring ryokan in Arima Onsen. This historic inn boasts 700 years of tradition, and its on-site hot spring source provides an abundance of Gold Spring water. You can enjoy it in a total of nine baths across three different areas, giving you the feeling of a hot spring tour within the ryokan! While it's a luxury ryokan, you can stay for less than 20,000 yen for a room-only plan on weekdays, which is a great deal. If your budget allows, I highly recommend adding a meal plan. Depending on the plan, you might even have your meal served in your room, which is typically a traditional kaiseki multi-course dinner. The restaurant options include kaiseki with a dessert buffet or a buffet with 50 different dishes, so you can choose according to your budget and preferences.​​​​

• Enjoy Both Gold and Silver Springs, Plus "Taikou-no-Yu" for Steam Baths and Bedrock Baths!

  nice! 1
• If you're looking for a hot spring hopping experience, Arima Kirari is an excellent choice. It's relatively close to Arima Onsen Station, about a 10-minute walk, and they can also arrange a shuttle service. The best part is that you can enjoy both the Gold Spring and Silver Spring hot springs right within the hotel! What's more, you get access to "Taikou-no-Yu," the only hot spring theme park in Arima. At Taikou-no-Yu, you can enjoy saunas, steam baths, and bedrock baths. Considering you can stay for around 10,000 yen per person for a breakfast-only plan and enjoy a full hot spring experience, it's a fantastic value!​​​​​​

• Just a 1-Minute Walk from Arima Onsen Station! Enjoy Both Gold and Silver Springs On-Site!

  nice! 1
• Arima Onsen town can be hilly, which can be challenging if you have a lot of luggage. However, Hotel Merveille Arima is just a 1-minute walk from Arima Onsen Station, making it incredibly convenient. You can drop off your luggage before checking in and explore the town unencumbered. For a weekday stay, even for a solo traveler, you can get a room with a breakfast buffet for around 15,000 yen or more. Considering its proximity to the station and the fact that you can enjoy both the Gold and Silver Springs within the hotel, this offers incredible value for money. If you're traveling with a group, they also have Japanese-Western style rooms that are perfect for group trips. The Japanese-style rooms are also great for families with babies, making it a good choice for family travel.​​​​​​​​

• A Relaxing Hot Spring Inn for Adults

  nice! 2
• How about Nakanobo Zuien, an inn boasting over 150 years of history and tradition in Arima Onsen? In addition to the large public baths, they also offer rooms with open-air baths and private reservable baths, allowing you to fully enjoy the hot spring water directly from the source. While the prices are on the higher side, you can find relatively reasonable accommodation by looking for special plans available on specific dates, including weekdays. Since it's conceptualized as an "inn for adults," you'll likely find it even quieter and more relaxing on weekdays than on weekends.​​​​​​

• Enjoy Arima Onsen in Evocative Baths

  nice! 1
• I recommend Arima Onsen Koki. They offer four private reservable baths where you can enjoy Arima's famous "Gold Spring" and "Silver Spring" hot springs. The recommended way to enjoy them is to first soak in the Gold Spring, then move on to the different Shinraku-yaki ceramic baths to enjoy the Silver Spring. This is a premium inn with a limited number of rooms, but if you're looking for a more affordable stay, consider visiting on a weekday and choosing a room-only plan or a smaller room size.​​​​

• If you're looking for an affordable hotel in Arima Onsen, Diamond Arima Onsen Society is another great option. While they don't have the "Gold Spring," you can enjoy the "Silver Spring" in their spacious public baths and open-air baths. The accommodation costs are lower compared to more luxurious hot spring ryokans, and they often offer various discounts depending on when you book. For dinner, they serve kaiseki cuisine featuring fresh seafood and mountain delicacies from the Seto Inland Sea, as well as a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, ensuring there's something to suit every guest's taste.​​​
