Arima Onsen is a hot spring area located in Kita-ku, Kobe City, Hyōgo Prefecture. It is one of the three oldest hot springs in Japan. It is only about an hour away from Osaka and is a popular hot spring in Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. In addition to hot springs, there is also a hot spring town that has been prosperous since ancient times. There are many good places for sightseeing, eating and buying souvenirs, which attracts many foreign tourists to visit. Now follow me to the Arima Onsen town with traditional Japanese flavor! Arima Onsen is a hot spring with a mixture of various ingredients, which is rare in the world. Arima Onsen contains 7 of the 9 designated ingredients for Japanese healing hot springs, which is scientifically proven to be the reason why Arima Onsen has been a popular hot spring healing spot since ancient times. Arima Onsen has two types of hot springs, the Golden Spring and the Silver Spring. The Golden Spring contains more iron and will oxidize and turn red when it comes into contact with air. On the other hand, the Silver Spring contains carbonic acid and is colorless and transparent. There are two public outdoor hot springs that can be bathed in during a day trip: the Golden Hot Spring and the Silver Hot Spring, where you can experience the golden and silver springs respectively.

Kinsen 'Golden Hot Spring' and Ginsen 'Silver Hot Spring' The atmosphere here has a lovely old Japan. Wherever you go, there's smoke coming out of the drains. It's quite beautiful and unusual. We were here from morning until late afternoon. We walked around, looked at things, and stopped by two hot springs.

Every time I go to Arima Onsen I will pay attention to the availability of this hotel, because not every time you can book, this hotel actually has a history, but more quaint flavor. This Japanese room has simple facilities, only traditional Japanese tables and chairs, dinner is dining in the room, the staff service attitude is excellent will kneel to serve the dishes and each dish will wait for the guests to eat and then serve the second course. Because one staff member was responsible for 1-2 rooms, I didn’t feel neglected. And each dish is my favorite food, the most special is the Sakura authentic sake shake, each time according to the seasonal food at the time, the next time may not be able to eat. Ling Maple Pavilion is located higher in Arima, you can take the hotel car or walk up the mountain, if it happens to be the season of maple leaves, full of maple leaves, walk up the mountain along the way to see the beautiful view of the maple leaves, the hotel room windows are full of maple leaves, very romantic. Arima is famous for its golden soup hot springs, which are said to be curative for neuralgia, skin eczema allergies, and arthritis. Gold and Silver Soup Baths require advance reservations via email, 45 minutes per session, and can only be booked once per day per room, due to the limited number of times but also become the reason to visit again.

Those who stay in a hot spring hotel in Arima Onsen will probably also walk around the city of Arima. The town of Arima is not big, and the street with the most shops is above this downhill stream. This stream that can be seen at a glance is called Arima Waterfront Plaza. The path down is actually quite long, with about five flights of stairs before reaching the end of the stream. On the way, many people sat by the stream to chill, eat snacks, and chat. There were also some Japanese people sitting there chatting. It seemed like a place for everyone to sit down during a break. There are some hot spring hotels, shops, bus stops, etc. near the square. There are many souvenir shops that sell authentic snacks, both ready-to-eat and boxed versions. We tried three types of hot spring buns, namely charcoal-grilled, steamed and carbonated. I personally think the charcoal-grilled ones are the most delicious with their crispy crust. In addition, another specialty of Arima is carbonated biscuits. One of the restaurants will "perform" carbonated biscuits on the spot at certain times, and you can buy one for 100 yen and eat it immediately. Eating it in its soft, un-crispy, and shapeless state is indeed very different from the ones packed in boxes (but the taste is nothing special). It is worth mentioning that we deliberately went to Inano Teahouse to eat bracken cakes. This bracken cake is soaked in ice water, and you can add syrup and soybean powder according to your personal preference. It is delicious. In the middle of the shopping street, there is a golden hot spring foot bath, which is divided into four floors. The highest floor is super hot, like boiling water, so I retreated to the fourth floor. #Arima Onsen #Soak in the hot spring #Golden Hot Spring

Arima Onsen is not only famous for its healing hot springs, but also for its hidden history and mysterious underground ruins. Here you can explore the ancient hot spring ruins that document the history and development of the hot springs. The underground acupuncture points are a highlight of Arima Onsen. These hidden passages were once used to guide hot spring water and provide a supply of steam. Walking into these caves, you will feel the heat coming from underground and feel like you are in a mysterious world. The air is filled with steam and one can feel the power of nature. This unique experience is unforgettable. After exploring the ruins, you can return to the hot springs for a warm soak to completely relax your body and mind. Every corner of Arima Onsen is filled with history and stories waiting to be discovered. Useful Information: The ruins of Arima Onsen are conveniently located near the main hot spring area. It is recommended to check the opening hours and guided tour services in advance to gain a deeper understanding of this mysterious land. Keep the environment clean, respect this cultural heritage, and enjoy your exploration. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

After finishing the Rokko Mountain Ski Resort trip in the morning Take the shuttle bus at the entrance of the ski resort to Rokkosan Arima Onsen Cable Car Station Take the cable car to Arima Onsen (This way of arranging the route can also avoid climbing a lot of uphill) It was cold in the snow basin in the morning, so it was so comfortable to take a hot spring bath here The carbonated pancakes on the old street are delicious. On the contrary, the hot spring buns surprised me more~ The crispy crust and the not-too-sweet red bean filling are so delicious #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 "This is not a hot spring at all, it's a battlefield!" Xiao Xiang waved the bamboo tongs, and the round pancakes on the charcoal stove sizzled. The pancake shop owner yelled, "10 seconds left! Whoever makes the most burnt pancakes will be awarded the title of 'Hot Spring Demon'!" The mother pinched the pancake into a crooked face: "This is a raccoon cat fainted by the hot spring." The father made a Kobe beef shape, but the kid next door swallowed it in one gulp: "The championship is mine!" On the return train, my sister took out the smuggled batter from her bag and said, "Let's go home and build a pancake castle!"

Arima Onsen in autumn is a feast for the eyes, body and soul. I took the Arima Onsen Ropeway and passed through layers of red maple leaves.

Every tourist attraction is packed with people. This is a scene I have never seen when I was on the Shikoku Pilgrimage last month.

The buses and cable cars are packed like sardines and will leave when they are full. The timetable is for reference only... Every restaurant also has a long queue of people waiting for a seat.

I went to Arima Onsen, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Hyogo Prefecture. Arima Onsen is one of the three oldest hot springs in Japan and one of the most historic hot spring towns in the Kansai region. There are many traditional inns in the town, so you can enjoy a stroll through the atmosphere! There are also many shops, so it's a lot of fun to go around eating and drinking! I went to many different shops, but my recommendation is Takenaka Meat Shop's croquettes and minced cutlets. → Crispy and delicious meat! The butcher's croquettes and minced cutlets are the best! Stagione's gelato → This famous shop won the "Gelato World Tour Japan 2019"! There was a line for both, but they were delicious, so please go and check them out. #0yentravelautumn #Hyogo #Arima #Arimaonsentown #Arimaonsengourmet

#JapanKorea Spring Good Place Arima Onsen, located in Kobe, has famous golden and silver hot springs

In early April, I went to Arima Onsen in Kobe. It was about a 30-minute bus ride from the "Shinki Bus Kobe Sannomiya Terminal" at Sannomiya Station. I could see the cherry blossoms in full bloom from the bus window, and my excitement was building! The bus stop faces the main street, so even if it's your first time, you won't get lost. It was a weekday, but there were many inbound tourists and it was very lively. Arima has many narrow, winding alleys, so it's fun to explore and stroll around. And the cherry blossoms were really beautiful! They were in full bloom, and I enjoyed the fantastic view of the cherry blossom snow flurries falling in the air. #Sakura2024 #ArimaOnsen #SakuraSpot

#ArimaOnsen #Hyogo A short trip from Osaka to Arima Onsen on the Hankyu bus for exactly one hour. There are no transfers and the bus is a highly recommended means of transportation. I've wanted to go to Tsuchiyamajin, a famous soba restaurant, for a few years now, so I wrote my name and mobile number and walked around until I got a call. Further up the mountain from Tsuchiyamajin is a temple called Gokurakuji. It has a quiet and tranquil appearance, but it seems to be a relatively new building. According to legend, Prince Shotoku founded the temple in the first year of the reign of Empress Suiko (593) in a stone storehouse on the east side of the Johki Bridge, with the Kannon Bodhisattva statue carved by Kurahata Tori as the principal image. Gokurakuji was destroyed by a flood that hit Arima in the first year of the Johki era (1097), and was later relocated to its current location and rebuilt by Kawakami Ise, who followed the monk Ninsai, who restored Arima Onsen in the second year of the Kenkyu era (1191). And, the temple was invited to the temple by the monk Honen, and the name was changed to Mitsuzo-ji-yama Gokuraku-ji, and it flourished as a training center for chanting Buddhist prayers. During the reign of Emperor Go-Kashiwabara, the name was changed to Jakusei-zan Denpo-in Gokuraku-ji. From there, we went down the hill again, and since we hadn't received a call from Tsuchiyama-jin yet, we went to a bakery that makes bread using salt extracted from Arima Onsen and went to Cafe de Bou. We bought strawberry daifuku bread and five-grain bread? almond danish. The strawberries are made with Akihime strawberries. We bought dried sansho pepper, soup stock, whiskey, etc. at the souvenir shop, and just as we were heading to Tsuchiyama-jin, it was good timing that our name was called. The set of sudachi hot soba and beef rice was 2,700 yen including tax. It was a refreshing and delicious soba. It will end as soon as the soba runs out, so we recommend that you write your name early. There are other stores in Harare, Kitahama, and Ashiya nearby. We also had gelato from a popular shop, but our appetite got the better of us and we forgot to take photos. Having eaten too much, we went to see the source of the carbonated hot spring to work up an appetite, and it was fun to take a break and refresh ourselves by sitting on a bench in the quiet shade of the trees and watching the spring bubbling away. I think people who like hot springs and foot baths will enjoy it even more. Incidentally, the last Hankyu Bus to Umeda leaves at 17:40. It fills up quickly so be sure to get your tickets early... It was a relaxed day trip with a friend.

We departed from Osaka Umeda on the same day. After purchasing tickets at the Hankyu Sanban Street Express Bus ticket office under Umeda Station, we departed at noon and arrived at Arima Onsen in about 45 minutes (it seems to be shorter😋) After arriving, I felt a little hungry, so I went to the food street opposite to eat some fish skewers (don’t know how to call it). After that, there was a slope straight up the road from the back. I soon saw Kinnoyu. Unfortunately, there was no Ginnoyu that day. Open the door, but let’s walk up the road first, encircling half of Arima Township? There are many local restaurants and handicrafts along the middle road. I feel very relaxed while walking~ When we were almost there, we turned back along the road to Kinnoyu - to experience the famous mineral hot springs! Unfortunately, Gin no Yu was not open that day. If not, the two of us would have bathed together~ But it was still very comfortable. After bathing in the bath, I felt a lot more relaxed and charged up for the next journey! After soaking in the soup, I had a glass of iced milk. At this time, there were no distracting thoughts in my mind. There was only one word that came to my mind: cool❤️ The day after I came out, it started to get dark. It was time to prepare to go back. Along the way, I saw cheesecake and coffee again. No. I hesitated to buy ~Maybe it’s because I just finished making soup, but the combination of cheesecake and coffee took it to another level🤣 At the end of the next day, I took the Arima Tram back to the city of Kobe (there was a cat conductor on the Arima Tram, but I was in a hurry when I got off the train, so I didn’t see the front). In Kobe City We walked around the area and had dinner, which ended the day's trip😁(Unfortunately, because we went to the wrong place and had to catch the last train back to Osaka, we didn't see the night view of Kobe🥲🥲) I will go there one more time next time !
