Brücke Hostel & Cafe ARIMA Kobe offers a relaxed and inexpensive experience with friendly staff. It was named after the German word meaning "Bridge", is at the approach to Tsuesesute-bashi bridge in Kobe, Arima Onsen. Tsuesute means to throw away the cane and was the entrance to this enchanting town in the olden days. HOSTEL “When I travel, I want to go out as much as possible and enjoy the city. During the day, I can explore the hot spring area of Arima before enjoying the hot springs at night. After going to the inn, I only need to go to bed.” We are preparing 10 dormitory beds, 1 twin room and 1 Japanese style room at an affordable price with a relaxed atmosphere. CAFE&BAR Brücke’s cafe bar is open to all guests for anything from a casual chat with a friend and a spot to chill out to those needing to concentrate on work. The cafe bar is open from 8am to 8:30pm with the smell of freshly baked croissants and ground coffee to entice you in. We also provide sandwiches,, cheesecakes and drinks during these open times. You can enjoy beer, wine and whisky with our special Wagyu beef steak and the fresh snacks.
What makes this place special, is the close proximity to hot springs and shops. 10 min walk to Kin-noyu and Gin-noyu famous hotspring places. There is a river which runs behind our place, you can hear relaxing river sound when you open the window. Also we have a comfortable cafe space at the entrance, where you can enjoy ground coffee with flesh bakery, beer, wine and whisky with the fresh snacks. We moved to this historical and beautiful town last year. We just love living here and are pleased to share this with you, our guests. We enjoy hosting.
Our neighbourhood is very quiet, and as our house is situated near Zuihoji Park, a famous place for Autumn leaves in November, where you can early morning walk in the other seasons too. Within walking distance (10 mins) is the public baths, restaurant dining, cafe.
