Arima Onsen Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Arima Onsen

Arima Onsen is one ofJapan's Three Old Hot Springs, with a recorded history going back to theNihon Shoki, published in 631. The waters of Arima come in two flavors: the Gold Spring (金泉Kinsen) is yellow-brown thanks to iron and salt, while the Silver Spring (銀泉Ginsen) is colorless but mildly radioactive. Administratively, Arima Onsen is a part of Kobe, but it's on the other side of Mount Rokko and thus a separate city for all practical purposes. The local tourist association has aJapanese-only guide site.
