Kin no Yu - Japan's oldest hot spring, with thermal and beauty effects

Arima Onsen Kin-no-Yu is one of the oldest hot springs in Japan, located in Kobe City, and has two unique spring qualities: gold spring and silver spring.

Kin-no-yu is famous for its turbid reddish-brown water, which is rich in iron and salt and has thermal and beauty-enhancing effects, making it a popular spot for tourists. The properties of the Golden Spring made it a favorite of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who often brought his wife here to recuperate and enjoy the healing effects of the hot springs.

The facilities at Kin no Yu are complete, with separate baths for men and women, and the price is affordable, so it's worth coming here to experience its therapeutic effects. The environment around here is quaint, and there are many traditional Japanese buildings on both sides of the hot spring street. Visitors can taste Japanese tea and Japanese confectionery here, or buy local specialties.

In short, Arima Onsen Kin-no-Yu is not only a great place to take a bath, but also an ideal place to experience traditional Japanese culture and enjoy natural beauty.
