\nSpring has come to Mt. Rokko and the Arima area! Arima Onsen is one of the oldest and most popular hot spring spots in Japan. Predominantly in the spring season, visitors are fascinated by the local weeping cherry blossoms (\u201cShidare zakura\u201d in Japanese.)
\nThe Arima Onsen is conveniently accessible. It only takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the Arima Onsen station from downtown Kobe by train.
\nIf you would like to enjoy riding a bicycle, exploring the area, and relaxing at the Onsen hot spring, this mountain-bike rogaining service would be the best choice!<\/p>\n
