Arima Onsen is one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot springs, located at the foot of Mount Rokko in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. With a history spanning over 1,000 years, it was once a retreat for emperors and the nobility. Arima's highlight is its two rare mineral springs: "Kin-sen," or golden spring water, rich in iron and minerals, nourishes the skin and circulatory system, and "Gin-sen," or clear spring water, containing traces of natural radioactivity believed to promote healing. #arimaonsen #rokko #traveljapan #onsen This small town is filled with traditional Japanese charm, featuring cobblestone alleys, old wooden houses, local sweet shops, souvenir shops, and Japanese-style ryokans (inns) offering private baths for a peaceful retreat. Arima Onsen is easily accessible from Osaka and Kyoto, just over an hour away, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking a warm, relaxing atmosphere and authentic Japanese onsen culture in this tranquil mountain town. #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

🌈 Sparkle through Kobe’s Night: Kobe Luminarie & Meriken Park ✨ Experience Kobe’s magical evenings with the Kobe Luminarie illumination—a stunning kaleidoscope of light installations—and chill vibes at Meriken Park by the waterfront. Stroll this urban oasis for a picture-perfect night! Here’s your route: Start at Meriken Park (2 Hatobacho, Chuo Ward), where the dazzling Kobe Luminarie glows each December (do check the annual schedule before visiting for specifics!). Kick off your night by wandering beneath the illuminated arches—every turn sparkles for jaw-dropping photos. Head toward the Kobe Port Tower for an insta-worthy shot with both the tower and the sea-lit artwork in frame. Don’t miss the BE KOBE monument, especially when the lights are reflected on the bay. It’s the local favorite for postcards and social feeds! Must-do: Pause near the Luminarie’s grand entrance and snap some close-ups—this section usually has the boldest colors and the highest selfie potential. Afterwards, linger at the park’s piers for gentle sea breeze and city skyline views, especially dreamy after sundown. Tips: Luminarie can get packed, so arrive early to beat the crowds (aim for just before dusk), and bundle up—December evenings by the water are surprisingly chilly! For the best lighting in your photos, wait till the illumination is fully switched on (usually after sunset). Meriken Park is open all day, so no rush to leave after the show. 🚶♂️ Precautions: Watch your step if you’re snapping photos—some walkways get slippery when damp. #Kobe #Luminarie #JapanTravel #MerikenPark #NightOut
