Enjoy the Ginsen and Kinsen Onsen Waters

With a history of over one thousand years, Arima Onsen is considered one of Japan's oldest hot spring towns. Located just outside of Kobe in Hyogo Prefecture, it is special for its two types of onsen waters: the Ginsen and Kinsen. 

The Ginsen, or silver water, is believed to sooth muscles by regulating blood pressure, promoting blood circulation, and swelling reduction. 

On the other hand, the Kinsen, or gold water, is known to help ease joint and back pain, improve blood circulation, and is even beneficial for your skin! 

Because of the minerals, the colour of the onsen turns into a reddish-brown color when it comes in contact with the air.
 
After having a relaxing time at onsens, be sure to explore the historic winding hill roads lines with wooden buildings, temples and shrines, and a small hot spring museum.
