"A 15th-generation ryokan in Arima Onsen set in an idyllic alpine environment and reachable by a scenic Rokko–Arima Ropeway ride from Kobe. It is famed for its rare, nonvolcanic salt-rich kinsen onsen—fed by a mineral-rich subduction zone with roughly twice the salinity of seawater and containing seven of the nine minerals Japan recognizes as healing. Kaiseki dining highlights include marbled Kobe wagyu sukiyaki, fresh sashimi from Kobe Port, and simmered dishes flavored with local sansho pepper, often paired with taruzake—sake aged in cedar casks." - Adam H. Graham
