Taiko-no-yu Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

3.5

This archaeological museum is located about eight minutes southwest of Arima Onsen Station. The museum exhibits items dating to the Azuchi-Momoyama period that were excavated from the archeological site discovered under the kitchen of Gokurakuji Temple, which was destroyed by the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995. This includes artifacts such as roof tiles and tea utensils as well as the ruins of bathtubs and a garden believed to have been part of the Yunoyama Goten villa built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Although the existence of the Yunoyama Goten had long been known to tradition, no blueprints or other historical documents supporting its existence are known to exist. The facility, which opened in 1999, exhibits the ruins of the villa's steam baths and stone bathtubs just as they were discovered.

秀吉が入ったかもしれない金泉風呂跡に感動

Reviewed : 2022.11.04

秀吉の造らせた金泉を引いた温泉の岩風呂の石垣の枠の一部が見られる。岩に金泉の成分が残留したような赤い色が見えます。実物なので感動した。

有馬温泉駅から徒歩10分ほど。極楽寺の境内にある。入館料200円。1995年に発生した阪神・淡路大震災で極楽寺庫裏が倒壊。その下から発掘された豊臣秀吉の「湯山御殿」の保存のために造られた博物館。床の一部が透明になっており、岩風呂や蒸し風呂の遺構を見ることができる。また、出土品の展示やパネル・映像での解説も行われている。展示品は多くないが「湯山御殿」の遺構を見るという貴重な体験ができるでしょう。

岩風呂はイメージ出来るが蒸し風呂も昔にあったそうで、その遺構とかを見ることが出来ます。今年に換気設備等々改善されたそうです。
