    Besides the real spring water, it felt like a bathhouse in China during the summer, albeit with a more elaborate process. First, change into a bathhouse outfit, then shower, then put on your bathhouse outfit to change into your own clothes before leaving. No rest required, and the same process continued. I was given a key box twice. The cashier was quite quick. The food was reasonably priced.

    From Osaka's Umeda, I took the Hankyu Line to Rokko, then took the train, cable car, car, and cable car all the way to Arima Town. I visited the hot springs here ten years ago, and this time, it's still the same: the service and facilities remain unchanged, and the hospitality and attentiveness remain even more so. It's a highly recommended spot for hot springs in Arima Town, and the Arima Town Taigo-no-Yu admission ticket plus a Kobe beef sukiyaki set meal adult ticket is especially recommended. It's a great place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a delicious meal.

    The zoo is great to experience, with indoor and outdoor areas. Children love Capibara the most. You can also visit it in the hot summer. When it's hot, you can enjoy the air conditioning in the indoor restaurant.

    It was definitely worth the trip, and I highly recommend everyone go. You can enter simply by scanning a QR code, and afterwards you can take a tram back to the Sannomiya area. The orcas were so cute! The show is absolutely worth seeing!! The scenery is incredibly beautiful.

    Kitano Ijinkan is generally a well-preserved Western-style building complex. These buildings were built by foreign merchants and diplomats around the end of the 19th century. Each Ijinkan retains its unique history and style. Whether it is taking photos or experiencing exotic culture, it is full of surprises. There are also specialty cafes, grocery stores, and restaurants in the block, which is super fun to visit!

    The Ctrip ticket needs to be exchanged on the first floor. The staff is very enthusiastic and patient, and the exchange is very convenient. The 5th floor is the observation deck, and the 6th floor is the top floor, but it was too cold outside so I didn't go. The observation deck has some small details. Each glass of the observation deck has a specific angle and a famous comic check-in place. The 4th floor is the art hall, and the rotating bar on the 3rd floor needs to be booked in advance.
