Things to do in Arima Onsen

Booking tickets through Klook is very convenient. The venue is flat and suitable for beginners, and there are many Taiwanese people there. Renting gloves separately is extremely expensive; it's highly recommended to bring your own to save money.

The arrangement was very good, with ample time allocated. The tour guide provided explanations. There weren't too many people this time, which was great. There was enough time at each attraction to walk around and see things.

This trip to Arima Onsen was a very comfortable and convenient overall experience. Tickets can be purchased online in advance, and you will receive an electronic ticket immediately after placing your order. This eliminates the need to queue and the price is cheaper than buying on-site, which is a bonus for travelers. After entering, you will have your own locker and receive a personal card number. All purchases of meals, souvenirs, or additional services within the facility are charged to this card, and you settle the bill all at once when you leave, making the process smooth. After receiving the card, you can go to the clothing area to choose your favorite color of yukata, change your clothes, and go downstairs to wash and soak in the hot springs. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs. Soaking in the outdoor hot springs is particularly relaxing and comfortable. After soaking in the hot springs, there is also a relaxation sofa area where you can lie down and rest, take a nap, or read the manga provided by the facility. The entire space is very relaxing, and you feel like you could stay all day. In addition, you can pay to experience fish therapy, bedrock baths, massages, or dine inside. There are many choices. In terms of transportation, you can take a bus from downtown Kobe. The last bus from Arima Onsen back to the city is at 6:00 PM, with departures approximately every 30 minutes, so remember to pay attention to the time. If you are not in a hurry, I highly recommend scheduling time to visit Arima Onsen and relax.

The tour worths every single pennies. Such beautiful scenes, especially the night view at Rokko mountain, is one of the kind. Arima onsen is also very fun and relaxing activity. Our tour guide Mr. Kangfu is very professional, helpful and can speak fluently English, and Chinese/Mandarin, and Japanese. It is a very memorial trip. I would definitely do it again if I visit Japan next year.

We went on February 8th, two families in one minibus. It happened to be snowing that day, and we saw Himeji Castle in the snow, so beautiful! After arriving at Arima Onsen, the snow gradually got heavier, and some roads were closed. We couldn't go up Mount Rokko, but the driver cooperated with our schedule and departed earlier to return to the city, avoiding being stranded on the mountain.

Pleasant experience with strawberry beer, an outlet store, and a crab buffet (happy). Snow play is also very enjoyable, with free sleds and the option to throw snowballs to ring a bell.

The itinerary was very rich and fulfilling. The tour bus seats were very comfortable. The tour guide Andy was very kind. I will definitely participate again next time.

Thank you for this tour led by Emi Ono. The service was really good, and the explanations were very detailed. I would definitely want to join her tour again if I have the chance.
