FIVE HIGHLIGHTS

Gekkoen Korokan has been loved by many customers.
Here are five of its charms.

Point.01

Embraced by the sky and mountains,
Arima's best panoramic view

The greatest attraction of Korokan is the stunning scenery that unfolds outside the windows. Located on a hill away from the hustle and bustle of Arima Onsen town, the majestic ridge of Mt. Rakuba is right in front of you, and the clear waters of Takigawa River unfold below.

The scenery changes with the seasons, from cherry blossoms in spring, to fresh greenery in summer, to autumn leaves, and is like a painting. In particular, on the 7th and 8th floors, there are many "rooms with open-air baths" where you can have this magnificent view all to yourself. The time you spend gazing at the magnificent view through the steam of the hot springs without being disturbed by anyone will teach you the luxury of doing nothing.

Point.02

Experience the sophistication of a Japanese inn.
"In-room dining" and "Kobe beef"

"In-room dining" style (or private dining) is a traditional Japanese form of hospitality, allowing you to enjoy your meal in a private space without having to worry about anyone else. Your room attendant will serve you each dish at your own pace.

The main dish is Kobe Beef, a world-renowned brand food. Enjoy the delicate flavors of traditional kaiseki cuisine and the melt-in-your-mouth umami of Kobe Beef to your heart's content. This is more than just a meal; it is an experience of Japanese culture.

Point.03

Overlooking the Arima mountain range
The "Kinsen" large bath and
3 private bathrooms

Korokan is proud of its large public bath, which is filled with Arima's famous "Kinsen (Red Water)" hot spring. Bathing while gazing out the window at the expansive mountain of fallen leaves is truly a moment of release for the mind and body. Please enjoy the high-quality water that only Arima Onsen can offer.

For those who prefer a more private bath, we also offer three different themed baths (cave, cypress, and wine). While these are not hot springs, you can enjoy a playful space with your family or loved ones without any worries.

Point.04

Crossing the Moonlight Bridge,
To another world.
Hot spring tours with sister hotels

Korokan and our sister hotel, Yugetsusanso, are connected by the Gekko Bridge over the Takikawa River. Guests can cross this bridge and freely use the facilities at Yugetsusanso.

From the modern Korokan to the elegant Sukiya-style space. Enjoy the open-air bath with natural hot spring water along the river, or take a stroll while listening to the sound of the river. The unique experience of staying at Gekkoen is that you can experience the atmosphere of two different inns in one stay.

Point.05

Add color to your stay,
Relaxing and healing facilities

In addition to spending time in your room, we also have other places to relax within the hotel. For those who want to reset their daily fatigue, we recommend the authentic Balinese beauty treatment "CURE." The all-hand oil treatment will lead you to deep relaxation.

After dinner, head to the hotel's noodle shop, Isshintei, or the relaxing bar lounge. Enjoy a drink on a quiet night, or fill your stomach with the famous Kobe beef ramen. Spend your night in Arima however you like.
