[One of the most relaxing trips in Kansai! A relaxing holiday in Arima Onsen x Kin no Yu]
#Spring0yentrip
Arima Onsen, the inner sanctum of Kobe, is a famous hot spring with a long history, known as one of the three oldest hot springs in Japan. It is easily accessible from Osaka and Kobe, but once you step into the town, you will feel the retro atmosphere of the hot spring town, and it feels like time is passing slowly.
The famous [Kin no Yu] is a must-see! As the name suggests, the "Kinsen" is a mysterious hot spring that is rich in iron and salt and turns brown when it comes into contact with air. It is a little hot, so it warms you to the core, and your skin will be smooth after bathing. It is addictive and comfortable, so you will want to go back again and again!
The hot spring town is dotted with foot baths and hand baths, so you can relax while taking a stroll. The best holiday plan is to take a leisurely walk with carbonated rice crackers, hot spring manju, and local beer in hand.
You can enjoy it on a day trip, but if you stay overnight, you can enjoy a charming inn and delicious kaiseki cuisine, which increases the luxury. The autumn leaves and the snowy scenery in winter are spectacular, and it's really rare to have a hot spring resort that can be enjoyed in any season!
