Since the old times, Arima Onsen has been thriving as one of the most famous hot-spring resorts in Japan. You might think that it’s not easy to get to the Arima area from the central Kobe because it’s surrounded by mountains. Actually, Arima Onsen is easily accessible. It only takes 30 minutes by train from Sannomiya Station in downtown Kobe, and about an hour from Osaka City.
