based on 229 reviews"To say which hot spring is best to find, Taige soup should be regarded as one. This is also the most market-oriented hot spring pool in the horse area. You can buy tickets online without making an appointment. Compared with the very traditional gold and silver soups, there are two types of springs at once, and there is no need to stay in a hot spring hotel. The day I came was just a scheduled break. I didn't open the door. I was a little disappointed. The location of this house is actually not easy to find. You have to find the hot spring temple first. In fact, this is also a part of the hot spring temple. Personally, if you usually have a lot of hot springs, you can go to the gold soup to soak once if you have a horse. There are more people than anything."Kobe.Arima Onsen Hotspring13km from downtownFeatured in 2024 Trip.Best Global 100Highlights: Arima Onsen has a history of more than 1,000 years and is a famous hot spring known as the "Hot Spring of Ancient Japan".
