    From Osaka's Umeda, I took the Hankyu Line to Rokko, then took the train, cable car, car, and cable car all the way to Arima Town. I visited the hot springs here ten years ago, and this time, it's still the same: the service and facilities remain unchanged, and the hospitality and attentiveness remain even more so. It's a highly recommended spot for hot springs in Arima Town, and the Arima Town Taigo-no-Yu admission ticket plus a Kobe beef sukiyaki set meal adult ticket is especially recommended. It's a great place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a delicious meal.

    Besides the real spring water, it felt like a bathhouse in China during the summer, albeit with a more elaborate process. First, change into a bathhouse outfit, then shower, then put on your bathhouse outfit to change into your own clothes before leaving. No rest required, and the same process continued. I was given a key box twice. The cashier was quite quick. The food was reasonably priced.

    The zoo is great to experience, with indoor and outdoor areas. Children love Capibara the most. You can also visit it in the hot summer. When it's hot, you can enjoy the air conditioning in the indoor restaurant.

    Kitano Ijinkan is generally a well-preserved Western-style building complex. These buildings were built by foreign merchants and diplomats around the end of the 19th century. Each Ijinkan retains its unique history and style. Whether it is taking photos or experiencing exotic culture, it is full of surprises. There are also specialty cafes, grocery stores, and restaurants in the block, which is super fun to visit!

    I really enjoyed taking the cable car up to Kobe’s Nunobiki Herb Garden. I could listen to classical music, and it was during the late autumn afternoon. Next time, I want to go to see the night view.”

    The Ctrip ticket needs to be exchanged on the first floor. The staff is very enthusiastic and patient, and the exchange is very convenient. The 5th floor is the observation deck, and the 6th floor is the top floor, but it was too cold outside so I didn't go. The observation deck has some small details. Each glass of the observation deck has a specific angle and a famous comic check-in place. The 4th floor is the art hall, and the rotating bar on the 3rd floor needs to be booked in advance.

    Kobe Meriken Park is definitely worth a visit! It's right next to Kobe Port, offering stunning views of the red port tower and cruise ships docked. The lights are stunning at night, and the park also boasts historical relics from the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The modern art sculptures and flower garden clock are also perfect for photos! The UMIE shopping district is nearby, so you can enjoy Kobe beef or seafood after a stroll. Transportation is also convenient, just a 10-minute walk from JR Motomachi Station. It's definitely worth a visit.
