The price is high, but you can expect a lot. The hotel rooms were great. You could choose if you prefer to sleep in big comfy western beds or prefered a Japanese futon instead (there were two rooms, so enough space to get the futons out).
Maybe prepare a bit in advance, so that you know what´s going on, because the English introduction at reception is a bit shorter than the Japanese one, but the staff is always really helpful and can answer your questions.
Breakfast and diner were both included and were fantastic. The sushi cook in the evening was so helpful and we tried 2-3 different sort of fish we never had before. And all the other dishes were great, too. Don´t forget to stop in time, so that there is still room for dessert ;o)
The onsen on the roof is wonderful. You have an excellent night view and can see the beautiful harbour area. There is an onsen for women and one for men. First there is a big room where you undress and put your clothes in little baskets. Then there is a shower room followed by a pool, a whirlpool and the lovely onsen.
And if you want to spend around 200 Yen extra, don´t forget to visit the room with the massage chairs. They are amazing.

Typical ancient ryokan, everything was simply amazing and we had such a good time there!
At the beginning I was afraid we would have to wait much to use the onsens, but it's all well managed.
Highly recommend dinner option.

We stayed in the hotel for one night. When we arrived, we were greeted by staff dressed in traditional Japanese dress who served as green tea and Japanese sweets. We were then escorted to our bedroom where we had a traditional Japanese room. We were then served the most unbelievable dinner in our room, which was truly amazing and the quality of the service was outstanding. Promptly after dinner, the room was cleaned and the futon was laid down and the beds were made in front of us. In the morning the beds were cleared and breakfast was served in our room which was nothing short of a banquet. We chose the western style. Food overall was exceptional. After breakfast, my wife and I made our way to the Private onsen - hot spring for one hour which was more than enough. An unbelievable experience and great value for money. I thoroughly recommend it to everybody if you’re looking for a break on a holiday to really enjoy and take in the Japanese culture.
Experience culture authentically with a stay at this traditional Japanese-style accommodation. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.

FAQ about ryokans in Kobe
On average, a ryokan in Kobe costs £369 per night (based on Booking.com prices).
The average price per night for a ryokan in Kobe for this weekend is £453 (based on Booking.com prices).
The average price of a ryokan in Kobe for this evening is £229 (based on Booking.com prices).
The ryokan is small, it has only a few rooms, so you can feel private there. The food was beyond great, tasty and the portions were large. The onsen was clean, with a great outdoor pool. Since the hotel is small, you had complete privacy in the onsen. The service was top notch. The ladies took care of us like their own members of the family. I recommend this place.
The outdoor private onsens were amazing. Booking them was easy and there was always availability. It's really not necessary to get the in-room onsen.
The yukata and japanese pj's which were provided were also great quality. I now regret not buying some :)
There are some great hiking trails and a hilltop shrine near the hotel, which are very quiet and secluded.
The hotel offers access to a local onsen (hot spring), with an authentic setting and modern bath facilities as well, located near a corner of forest, with a beautiful view!
My husband and I loved the exceptional staff, beautifully appointed rooms and the location.The most outstanding feature of Dormy Inn Kobe Motomachi Natural Hot Springs was the Onsen. Having free laundry facilities on the premises was a huge bonus.
The ryokan's onsen was amazing, the staff was very welcoming and helpful, everything was provided and explained to us (yukatas, amenities, tea, crackers...). Location was also great, right next to bus station.
I think we were given a free upgrade, the room is very big and spacious. We love everything in this ryokan especially the onsen. Yukata were provided, even the skincare provided were branded, Kose. Shuttle bus was provided in and out from the ryokan to bus station or train station. Staff were great and the whole environment was serene. A great place to rest and relax and recharge. Awesome stay, great job!!!
The Japanese style room was spacious and well equipped. The check-in was super easy, and the staff were informative and friendly. The location is in the heart of Arima Onsen. Dressed in your yukata, winter jacket, and clogs (graciously supplied by the hotel), you are a few steps away from the well-known Kin no Yu Onsen and foot bath. The futons were super comfortable, too, giving you a restful nights sleep.
-Private onsen and affordable room rates as compared to other hotels nearby
-Very suitable for children to stay
-Free yukata to wear during stay
-Has indoor swimming pool though we didn't try
-Very comfy and spacious room of traditional style futon
-Nice scenery from room
-There is a brownish mochi (few free snacks in the room) that is extremely nice. You can buy it at the counter too
Our first stay in Japanese ryokan was a great expirience. Wood, tatami, futons, japanese garden, free yukatas, beautiful pottery made by famous Kyoto artist. Separated large bathtub and shower. Free tickets to Gin and Kin onsens! Arima is a very beautiful place!
Gorgeous ryokan with good onsens. It was my first traditional Japanese hotel and onsen, so I was very impressed by hospitality, kaiseki dinner, the view, the room with tatami, yukata and hot springs. Totally recommend it!
