Hyogo Pref. Koubeshi Kita-ku Arimachou 833

A municipal day trip bathing facility located in the Arima Hot Spring area, a famous hot spring site favored by the Imperial Regent Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This renowned public bathhouse, long operated here, was remodeled and reopened in 2002. The facility’s reddish brown waters come from the “Gold Spring” source. The bathhouse has men’s and women’s indoor baths as well as a rest lobby. The outdoor footbath and spring water station are free to use, and many like to stop here for a quick break during a walk. The closest station is Arima Onsen Station.

I think it’s a good starting point for first timers. It was my first time and I usually leave my backpack in a coin locker at the station but things were a bit hectic for me in the morning so I ended...
