Arima Onsen Recommendation: Taiko-no-Yu, a Huge Hot Spring Amusement Park

Japan's three ancient hot springs are Hyogo Prefecture's Kobe City 'Arima Onsen', Ehime Prefecture's Matsuyama City 'Dogo Onsen', and Wakayama Prefecture's Shirahama Town 'Shirahama Onsen'. Today, we visited 'Taiko-no-Yu' at Arima Onsen to experience the hot springs. This place feels like a small leisure park with a variety of facilities, including stone saunas, hot springs, fish therapy, restaurants, and spas, allowing you to spend a whole day relaxing both body and mind. After soaking in the hot springs, you must have some ice cream!
