Arima Onsen est l'une des trois stations thermales les plus anciennes du Japon, avec des registres remontant a l'an 631. Sa particularite reside dans deux types d'eaux thermales radicalement differentes : l'« eau doree » (kinsen), riche en fer et en sel, de couleur ocre ; et l'« eau argentee » (ginsen), gazeuse et limpide. Toutes deux jaillissent a quelques metres l'une de l'autre, un phenomene geologiquement insolite.

Le bourg se niche sur les pentes du mont Rokko, a seulement 30 minutes de la cosmopolite Kobe, et conserve un charme de ruelles escarpees, de ryokan historiques et de bains publics accessibles. Le Kin no Yu (bain dore public) et le Gin no Yu (bain argente) permettent de gouter aux deux eaux sans sejour en ryokan.

Guide d'initié

**Kinsen vs Ginsen experience:** Kinsen (gold) water is rich brown from iron/salt, claiming benefits for muscle pain and skin conditions. The color and smell (mineral-rich) create unique sensory experience. Ginsen (silver) water is clear with carbonation, feeling tingly on skin. Both can be experienced at public baths (¥650–¥550) rather than expensive ryokan. Locals recommend trying both to appreciate the contrast. **Ryokan value:** High-end ryokan (Hyoe Koyokaku, Tocen Goshobo, ¥40,000–80,000/night) offer private onsen, kaiseki meals, and traditional hospitality. Mid-range options (¥20,000–30,000) provide authentic experience at half the cost. Budget travelers can day-trip from Kobe using public baths and restaurants, experiencing 80% of Arima for ¥3,000 total. **Town atmosphere:** Arima's compact size (a short walk end-to-end) creates intimate resort town feeling. The Yumotozaka slope (湯本坂) lined with shops, cafes, and temples is the main walking street. Try carbonated cider (サイダー) made with Ginsen water (¥300, sweet fizzy drink). Evening (17:00–19:00) sees ryokan guests in yukata walking to public baths — most atmospheric time for photography.
