Before heading to Arima Grand Hotel

Prior to your serene stay at Arima Grand Hotel, indulge in an immersive exploration of Japan's Kansai region.

Kobe

Hyogo Prefecture’s capital city might be best known for its mouth-watering marbled beef, but the port city is also famous for the quality of its sake. Find out what makes it so special with a tour of several local breweries.
Osaka

One of Japan’s most populous and bustling cities brims with endless possibilities for food lovers. Entire districts are packed with restaurants, from the tourist-thronged lanes of Dotonbori to the photogenic streets of scenic neighborhoods like Nakazaki-cho.
Kyoto

Soak up the splendor of the old imperial capital, where storied streets that lead to stunning temples or shrines are lined with stylish yet understated ryokan, elegant restaurants and tearooms or boutiques. In this beautiful city, centuries-old traditions and fine arts – from the tea ceremony and kirikane, which involves gold-leaf appliqué – are alive and well.

After Arima Grand Hotel

Following a relaxing stay at Arima Grand Hotel, continue your immersive exploration in Japan's Setouchi region.

Himeji Castle

This 600-year-old castle in Himeji, a Japanese National Treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is regarded as the finest and best-preserved example of Japanese castle architecture. Built on top of a hill during the country’s long feudal era, it has multiple defense fortifications and labyrinthine walking paths. Over a thousand cherry trees within the grounds bloom in springtime, and its elegant white exterior – which resembles a majestic bird about to take flight – has earned it the moniker White Heron Castle.
Kurashiki

The Seto Inland Sea in the west of Japan was once a busy international maritime highway, and Kurashiki was one of its most important ports. Here, the Bikan Historical Quarter retains an enchanting Old World patina, even as the rice storehouses that once lined the canal have been adapted for modern reuse, with some of them converted into museums.
Art Islands

In the Seto Inland Sea, among the archipelago of small, mostly uninhabited islands, a clutch of small islands have become the backdrop to spectacular art, some of them permanent installations. Collectively known as the Art Islands, they feature iconic works by architect Tadao Ando and Yayoi Kusama, among many others.
Hiroshima

This former castle town along the Ota River Delta remained quaint for centuries until the Meiji Restoration, during which it grew into an industrial hub. The original castle, built in the 1500s, was among the structures destroyed during the War, but it has since been restored, as have many of the city's charms.
Miyajima

The enchanting Miyajima, also known as Itsukushima, is a small island in Hiroshima Bay with scenic walking trails, charming inns and temples. Widely recognized for Itsukushima Shrine's iconic giant red torii (gate) that's partially submerged in water during high tide, the island is possibly one of Japan's most photographed locations.
