Taketoritei Maruyama
B · 7.1 / 10right inn, right place
A modern-Japanese ryokan in Arima Onsen with silver-water (Ginsen) baths in the rooms and eight rentable private baths that cover both of Arima's spring types, gold included. KI-NRT suggests it as a good Arima option, and Buster CT1K, who stayed on that suggestion, found the silver water really great and the gold pretty good too. Nobody in the thread has written a word about the food, and everything either reviewer says about the place concerns the baths.

Food
Nobody in the thread has written about the food here; neither KI-NRT nor Buster CT1K says a word about dinner or breakfast.
Bath 4 / 5
Both of Arima's waters are under one roof. The in-room baths run the silver (Ginsen) spring, a rare radium type that Buster CT1K found really great, and eight private baths, rentable in 45-minute increments, cover both the silver and the famous gold (Kinsui) water, which he thought pretty good too, so you can go back and forth between the two. The one drawback for KI-NRT is that the in-room baths are silver and not gold.
Service 4 / 5
Buster CT1K reports very good service, and that is all anyone in the thread has said about it.
Room 3.5 / 5
KI-NRT describes the rooms as modern Japanese and quite comfortable, and each has an in-room bath fed by the silver (Ginsen) spring. Nobody in the thread has described a particular room.
Place
The ryokan is in Arima Onsen, and nobody in the thread has written about the property's grounds or its surroundings.
