Not far from Kobe City in Hyogo prefecture, is the onsen resort of Arima Onsen <\/strong>(\u6709\u99ac\u6e29\u6cc9). With a history dating back over 1,300 years<\/strong>, Arima is one of the oldest hot spring resorts in Japan and is a popular travel destination for many visitors. I was able to visit this place already twice and would like to share my impressions with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hot Springs of Arima Onsen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At an onsen resort, you’ll surely have numerous opportunities to enjoy a hot bath. Arima Onsen offers two special types of water. First, there is the “golden water” Kinsen (\u91d1\u6cc9)<\/strong>, which includes a high salt and iron amount. It has a red-brown color, which is caused by the oxidation of iron. On the other hand, you also can find the “silver water” Ginsen<\/em> (\u9280\u6cc9<\/strong>), which contains radium.

The onsen water is said to help relieve various diseases. These include arthritis, muscle complaints, and circulatory problems. It could help to strengthen the immune system and is good for your skin. Furthermore, inhaling the ginsen<\/em> water steam is said to alleviate symptoms of bronchial diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
