Two Hot Springs with Different Characteristics
“The Arima Onsen hot springs boasts more than 1,300 years of history
and is one of Japan’s three oldest hot springs or “”kosen.”
It is also one of Japan’s three most famed hot springs renowned for its water
quality.
Among Arima’s hot springs, Kosenkaku is one of the few ryokan (Japanese-style inn)
that possesses its very own hot spring source.
Thanks to this in-house hot spring source, the abundant supply of water allows for
frequent replacement of the hot spring water to keep the water fresh.”
One of Arima’s Premier Hot Springs with Its Own Hot Spring Source
“Kinsen” (Golden Spring)
“The hot springs of Arima Onsen can be traced back to ancient
times, and since antiquity, they were often referred to as the “”best host
springs in the known world.”
According to tradition, it is said that during the Nara period, Gyouki, a
Japanese Buddhist priest, began to use the hot springs as a form of medical
treatment.
Visitors can find the two Kanji characters that combine to mean “”Miraculous
Spring”” engraved into our Iwaburo bath.”
