Arima Onsen, Kobe: 8 Hours of Hot Springs, Views & Treats! ♨️🇯🇵✨

#summervacay Spend 8 magical hours in Arima Onsen, one of Japan's most historic and revered hot spring towns! It's famous for its "Gold" (iron-rich) and "Silver" (carbonated) springs. What to Do: Grab a Map! 🗺️ Start at Yoshitakaya for a free map. Dip & Relax! 🛁 Experience both the unique Kinsen (Gold Spring) and Ginsen (Silver Spring) – check opening times! Hike to Tōsen Shrine! ⛰️ Climb the lantern-lined steps to this ancient, peaceful shrine nestled in the forest – totally worth the view! Feast on Local Delights! 🍲 Try the Michelin-starred Kamameshi (pot rice) (worth the wait!) and the uniquely soft-then-crisp Carbonated Crackers (炭酸煎餅). Million-Dollar Night View! 🌃 Head up Mount Rokko via the Arima Ropeway for one of Japan's "Three Great Night Views" – incredibly romantic! (Check ropeway times!) #arimaonsen #kobe #japantravel #onsen #hotsprings #mountrokko #nightview #kamameshi #tosenshrine #traveljapan #kansai #spalife #hiddengem
