Arima is a historic hot spring town located in the Hyogo prefecture of the Shutoken region in Japan. Nestled in the Rokko mountain range, Arima is known for its natural hot springs, which have been revered for their healing properties for centuries. The town is divided into two main hot spring areas: Kita (North) Arima and Minami (South) Arima, each offering a unique experience for visitors. Kita Arima is famous for its "gold" and "silver" hot springs, which are said to have different health benefits. The gold spring contains iron and salt, while the silver spring contains radium and carbonate. Both are believed to help with various ailments and promote overall well-being. In addition to the hot springs, Kita Arima also offers traditional ryokan inns, historic temples, and picturesque streets lined with shops and restaurants.
