"This was my first time in Arima and my first time staying at a ryokan. I stayed for one night and immediately wished I had booked an extra night. I was in Arima for two nights total and wanted to compare two different ryokans to experience the differences. Takayamaso Hanano was an excellent stay that I will remember fondly. I paid for a room with a silver bath and a full board dinner. The ryokan dinner was unforgettable, and the staff were very friendly despite the language barrier I had as a foreign visitor. If I ever return to Arima, I would love to stay here again."
