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
