Reviews
i had a wonderful experience in this onsen, so relaxing and very convenient. However, i forgot my black wrist watch (Sophie Martin) in the locker that I used in no.2201. How can I claim it back? I went there awhile ago April 1,2026 (around 1pm). pls respond to me in my email at ardith.telewik01@gmail.com
I was able to use the Osaka Amazing Pass and various other facilities and products very conveniently. Pre-booking was a great help for a smooth trip, and the cost-effectiveness was excellent, which greatly helped reduce travel expenses, so I was very happy. And thank you. In addition, I think it is an essential option for a fulfilling, enjoyable, and convenient trip, so I highly recommend it to many travelers.
Happy experience! The redemption is simple, just show the QR code to the staff at the front desk, and she will assist with the process and explain in detail. You can easily and leisurely enjoy the facilities and hot springs in Taihe no Yu ♨️👍🏻, the environment is comfortable and clean, and you can enjoy the pre-ordered food in the restaurant Sukiyaki set menu, rich! There is also a food court that provides food with plenty of seats, and there is a music performance during Christmas, which is very atmospheric! There is also a rest area and shop. For any purchase in the venue, you only need to scan the barcode on your wristband, and you only pay once when you leave Taihe no Yu, which is convenient! I will definitely visit the hot springs again next time♨️!
The best part is that you can purchase the ticket from Klook at entrance to save money. also the hot pot is available with the restaurant as a package is recommend.
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.
Easy to redeem with QR code, the pass include Admission ticket + premium bedrock bath + DR.fish + soft serve ice cream. I enjoy the onsen and all the activities. it will be good if Klook can provide another pass include the transport.
If you definitely want to experience both the gold and silver baths, this is the right place. The free shuttle bus right in front of the station makes transportation convenient. Some people say the baths are small for their size, but I didn't feel that way. The open-air bath was very satisfying. Perhaps because many people were in the water, I noticed a chlorine smell, just like a swimming pool. Also, try the free 30-minute sauna located before the entrance to the bathhouse. You can register for the waiting list in advance and go at your scheduled time.
bought the to ticket on the spot. enjoyed and had a good experience. we tried all the free onsen pools.
The Kobe beef sukiyaki was delicious, but there were only four slices of Kobe beef, which was a bit too little. The indoor hot spring and outdoor bath were absolutely wonderful, and there were quite a lot of local Japanese people there.
I recommend a day trip to Taikounoyu Onsen. Buying a lunch package on Klook is cheaper than buying it on the spot. You can have a comfortable and relaxing day soaking in the hot springs, having lunch, resting, and then soaking in the hot springs again.
