Arima Onsen Walk: Kobe’s Famous Hot Spring Town After 30 Years

I’m heading back to my family home in Kobe on a slightly delayed visit—and while I’m at it, I’m also setting off on a trip to circle Shikoku.

Traveling from Aichi through Shiga and Kyoto, I made my way into Hyogo Prefecture and returned to Kobe, where my family home is. This time, I took a walk through Arima Onsen, one of the most well-known hot spring towns in the Kansai region. I think it’s been about 30 years since I last visited. The overall atmosphere still feels familiar, though it seems like more new buildings have appeared over time.

As you climb the narrow, sloping streets, the town starts to feel like a maze—but it’s filled with charming shops along the way. Arima has a nostalgic Showa-era vibe, yet there are also stylish modern facades mixed in. That blend of old and new makes it a really fun place to walk around.
