FAQ
Arima Onsen is renowned as one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts, with a history spanning over 1,300 years. It has been mentioned in ancient texts like the Nihon Shoki and was favored by emperors and powerful historical figures, including Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who visited frequently and contributed to its development. Its enduring legacy and traditional atmosphere make it a significant cultural and historical landmark in Japan.
Arima Onsen is famous for its two distinct types of hot spring water: "Kinsen" (gold spring) and "Ginsen" (silver spring). Kinsen is a reddish-brown, iron-rich water known for its moisturizing and warming effects. Ginsen is a clear, carbonated spring, believed to improve circulation and relieve muscle pain. These unique mineral compositions contribute to Arima Onsen's renowned therapeutic qualities.

The clearest night views from Mt. Rokko are often experienced during autumn and winter months. The air tends to be drier and less hazy, allowing for sharper visibility of the city lights below. Visiting just after sunset allows you to witness the transition from dusk to full night, enhancing the magical experience as the city illuminates.
