Notice of Changes to Dining Options for Guests Staying Multiple Nights

Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Arimasansoh Goshobessho.

 

At our inn, we are always striving to create a more comfortable and enriching experience for our guests.
Starting from February 2025, we are delighted to introduce new options for guests staying multiple nights, allowing for an even more fulfilling and relaxed stay.

 

Changes to Dining Options for Consecutive Nights

Until now, we have offered a different full-course dinner each evening for guests staying multiple nights.
Going forward, to allow for a more leisurely experience, we will be offering new dining options as follows:

 

Enhanced Dining Choices

In addition to our traditional full-course meals, we will introduce lighter yet flavorful options such as hot pot courses, grilled fish courses, and the legendary Watanuki Bento.
Guests are welcome to choose meals that best suit their travel pace and preferences.

Please note that while the basic full-course menu will no longer change daily, we will continue to maintain and enhance the quality of our offerings.

 

Enriching Your Stay with New Experiences

To further enhance your time with us, we are pleased to introduce the following new services within the inn:

  • Cafe and Bar Time in the Lobby: Enjoy a serene and special moment in an elegant setting.

  • Room Service: Perfect for those who wish to savor a relaxed and private dining experience.

  • Cultural Experience Programs: Engage with the rich history and culture unique to our region and create lasting memories.

For guests planning an extended stay, we will be happy to propose personalized dining and activity options after your reservation is confirmed.
Let us craft a tailor-made experience just for you.

 

Our Philosophy

We have always asked ourselves: “What is the kind of inn we would truly wish to stay at?”

For guests staying several nights, having a full-course dinner every evening may at times feel overwhelming.
In response, we have revised our dining style and introduced more flexible options such as room service, cafes, bars, and cultural programs, ensuring a stay that is both freer and more comfortable.

We also recommend enjoying cultural experiences unique to Arima Onsen and exploring the increasing number of fine restaurants in the surrounding area.
Why not indulge in a week-long retreat, savoring luxurious moments at your own pace?

At Arimasansoh Goshobessho, we nurture the spirit of “cultivating timeless value.”
We invite you to relax deeply, awaken your senses, and immerse yourself in the culture and atmosphere unique to this land.

As the nature of travel continues to evolve, it is also our sincere wish to contribute to the vitality of the entire town and to foster sustainable tourism.
We hope you will not only enjoy your stay within the inn but also stroll through the streets of Arima, meeting the local people, experiencing the landscapes, cuisine, and traditions, and deepening your journey.

With a spirit of hospitality that has remained unchanged for over 800 years, and with a dedication to creating new value,
we will continue striving to make your stay with us even more enriching.

We look forward to welcoming you to Arimasansoh Goshobessho and sincerely appreciate your continued support.

Measures to prevent COVID-19 infections

In order to prevent infection spread of the new coronavirus, and protect our guests and staff inside our accommodation, we carry out the following measures.

We deeply appreciate your cooperation, and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

  • We decline from accommodating any guest who is suspect of infection by the new coronavirus. For that reason, during check -in, all our guests will have to fill in a health check sheet and declare whether they have any symptoms of the new infectious disease.
  • We have installed humidifiers in the lobby and all guestrooms, and alcohol disinfectant in all common areas. We strongly urge our guests to wash their hands, gargle and disinfect with alcohol frequently.
  • We provide face masks to guests who want further precaution. Please ask our staff. Some staff may be wearing face masks for the time being.
  • All guestrooms have a private thermal room( 36 ~ 38 degrees ) that provides a great environment for strengthening the body’s internal immune system. Guests are encouraged to take some time relaxing in warmth after an early check-in.
  • All guestrooms are separated villas and maisonnettes. Basically, guests do not meet at once. 
  • For the time being, to further strengthen guests privacy, we can upgrade the stay to a room with private hot-spring bath whenever possible so guests can enjoy the hot-spring without the use of the shared bath area. 
  • Further, we can serve meals in  private dinning rooms whenever possible. Also, An exquisite bento style course dinner can also be served privately at the guestroom. Please ask our staff for the Bento style dinner plan.
