MK Guide Recommends
Nestled along a quiet slope in Arima Onsen, Tocen Goshoboh is one of Japan’s oldest and most storied hot spring inns, welcoming guests since 1191. With its earthen walls, paper lanterns, and seasonal kaiseki cuisine, the ryokan preserves centuries of tradition while embracing contemporary elegance. Rooms overlook gardens or the gentle stream, and the famed kinsen (golden iron-rich waters) flow into private and shared baths carved from stone. More than just a place to stay, Goshoboh invites reflection—it’s hosted writers, monks, and dignitaries across the centuries, and continues to serve as a cultural retreat rooted in rhythm, poetry, and stillness.
