Arima Onsen is one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot springs, located at the foot of Mount Rokko in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. With a history spanning over 1,000 years, it was once a retreat for emperors and the nobility. Arima's highlight is its two rare mineral springs: "Kin-sen," or golden spring water, rich in iron and minerals, nourishes the skin and circulatory system, and "Gin-sen," or clear spring water, containing traces of natural radioactivity believed to promote healing.
