THE STORY
In its long history, dating back to the 8th century, the little town of Arima Onsen has seen visitors from all walks of life, from common people to emperors, drawn by the unique and renowned health effects of the hot springs there. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the great daimyo and unifier of Japan, was especially fond of Arima, and went there often from his castle in Kyoto. Located near the city of Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, on the flanks of Mt. Rokko, Arima has been a popular weekend getaway for residents of Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka for well over a thousand years - making it the oldest onsen hot spring resort in Japan.
Amid this venerable legacy sits the ryokan Nakanobo Zuien, which has been greeting guests for 150 years. With its unsurpassed service and fine cuisine, as well as the high quality of its baths, Nakanobo has over the years become a destination in its own right.
Nakanobo's flexible services cater to its guests' every need. The ryokan is elderly-friendly, and welcomes overseas guests with multilingual staff always on duty.
At Nakanobo, everywhere you look there are beautiful touches of tradition and refined taste, as well as premium hospitality - all designed to help its guests relax and ease them into the calm, tranquil onsen lifestyle.

VIP Room with Ginsen Open-air Bath
Nakanobo's rooms are all graced with comfortable furniture and fine woodwork, and have lots of traditional Japanese touches - tatami mats giving off their distinctive delicate aroma, tokonoma alcoves with hanging scrolls, and artfully placed flowers and fine ceramic vases. There are of course, all the modern conveniences one would expect at a fine hotel, including large-screen TVs and Washlet electric bidets.
'Zuiun' is Nakanobo's finest room, a big, beautiful suite with twin beds and two spacious Japanese-style tatami mat living/sleeping rooms. It also has a cha-shitsu, a small and intimate space for enjoying tea ceremony, which can be used as an extra sleeping space. The suite also has a sitting room with seating for four people. The rotemburo open-air bath is a huge, round ceramic bowl-shaped tub, inviting and hot spring-fed, with a lovely view over the rooftops of the town and the mountains beyond.
