Miyukiso will open “nebi Arima,” a property combining a luxury hotel and a traditional Japanese hot-spring ryokan, on October 2.
The property will have six guest rooms, with one room on each floor. Each room measures approximately 80 square meters and features a living room, mini-kitchen, indoor bath, open-air bath, and sauna. Bathing facilities account for approximately one-third of the guest room area. The indoor and open-air baths incorporate elements of the Arima Rokkei, or Six Scenic Views of Arima. Check-in is from 2 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m.; Ikkyu Diamond members may check out by noon. Complimentary parking is available, as is a shuttle service between Arima Onsen Station and local bus stops.
Meals will include Japanese-Western kaiseki cuisine featuring seasonal ingredients from the sea and mountains, with menus changing monthly. The company will also open directly operated sweets shops: “Parfait Bar nebi,” a parfait specialty shop; “Arima Butter Sand Specialty Shop So to Ka,” offering butter sandwiches made with milk; and “SOW arima sweets stand,” serving soft-serve ice cream and drinks.
To commemorate the opening, a stay package including an evening parfait and one drink will be available through December.
Access is approximately a 10-minute walk from Arima Onsen Station or a 30-minute drive from Kobe Sannomiya.
