Arima Onsen, in the woods above Kiyomizu-dera Villa resort (luxury)

Arima Sanso Gosho Bessho

有馬山叢 御所別墅

Does Arima Sanso Gosho Bessho allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

Ten villas in fourteen hundred tsubo of woodland above the town, each a hundred square meters with the hot spring piped to its own bath and a warm room to lie in afterwards — one of them with a gold-spring bath up a tree, roofless, which the resort asks you to book two nights for in case of rain.

Ten detached villas of a hundred square meters each, and the hot spring comes to the bath in every one of them — the resort’s own words are that the room’s bath runs on onsen too. One villa has a gold-spring open-air bath built as a tree house. Nothing here has to be shared.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes; once the door is closed nobody is checking anything.
