Summary
Accommodations around Arima Onsen are relatively close to the Keihanshin area, so we recommend them as they put less strain on your pet.
You can also ride the Rokko Cable Car and Arima Ropeway with your pet.
Many people use the service for one way out and one way back, and it is OK for two people and two dogs, so you can travel with your dog friends.
If you make a reservation in advance, you can also go sightseeing by pet taxi.
