My gf and I spent the night and had a great time. The staff was super friendly and helpful - the manager even came down to the train station (unasked) with something we'd forgotten! We were there in sakura season, which was beautiful - it's also apparently beautiful in maple season. Baths were nice and we also booked the private bath (not onsen) for an extra ¥2000 which was lovely. It's a little outside of the main town, but there's a shuttle that runs in the evening and they gave us a ride to the train when we left - probably would have picked us up if we'd called when we arrived. Overall, a lovely older onsen ryokan with lots of young families staying there. (They have a playroom, arcade, etc.)

The hotel was located up on the top of the hill, and takes about 15 minutes to walk to town.They have golden hot spring which we liked but we did not get a chance to enjoy as it was only gender specific and nude only. You could rent the private room, but it's just a hot tub, it's not hot springs water. The staff were nice and they do speak English which was quite helpful. They served a breakfast buffet right before we checked out, food was decent. Our room had a good view, could have imagine how nice it would be if the cherry blossom had opened up. Bathroom was big and stone tub was good for a nice hot bath. I was looking for more for the price we paid for, but overall, we had a decent stay.

Amazing, worth every penny. Definitely ask for the free bus to get there though as the walk from the train station is all uphill

飯店在山坡上有點難找，建議可以先打電話或email請飯店去車站接送，雖然是老溫泉飯店但非常乾淨，早餐和晚餐都非常豐盛，房間內規劃的很舒服。服務人員也非常友善，一進去就想直接待到check out 再出來：）

It was a very nice experience! We drove to the hotel and there was parking area. The staff are very friendly. You can add a small amount of money for private onsen if you like! Our room has a mountain view and got a chance to watch the sun setting as we had our dinner in our room.

Overall is good but hot spring only available at 3pm-9:30pm. It is disappointed that we can't have hot spring in the morning. Also, no private hot spring at room. There is facility for kids which is good for my little girl. Dinner and breakfast is good, staff is nice.

The staff picked us up from train station, cable car station and bus station at our request. They are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and tidy with free indoor and out door onsen. Will stay there again.

The service here was outstanding. Everyone was helpful and went beyond their duty to help you and make you feel welcome. However if you don't sign up for breakfast and dinner, no close places to eat. The staff did drive us to dinner and pickup us up though. A little inconvenient, but went to one of the best restaurant we've been to on this two week trip.

We only stayed one night but wish we had longer. Staff were super courteous even by Japanese standard. Room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the onsen as well. Even after we checked out they took the extra mile to drive us to drop off our luggage first at the tourist info center and then to the cable car.

Stayed only one night and enjoyed every minute of it. Liked the outdoor onsen and the friendly staff.

hotel provides free shuttle service to and from arima onsen station. very friendly staff. very authentic traditional Japanese experience. room was a little small for 4 people. combined living and bedroom so staff will have to convert ur bedroom into dining area before your meal. but it's a joy to witness Japanese efficiency when converting ur room

Motoyu Ryuusenkaku is not a very luxxrious resort in Arima Onsen area, but the hotel staff is really welcome to clients from worldwide. They introuduced every facility after checking in. I especially enjoyed the dinner they prepared.
