At the end of November, I went to Arima Onsen, one of the three major hot springs in Japan. It was really beautiful to enjoy the red leaves while soaking in Majin soup. To have a horse to admire the red leaves, recommend these places!

🍁a 1,400-pyeong mountain resort with only 10 rooms, is probably the most private and highly rated top-class hot spring hotel in Arima.

The design of low density allows people to enter here with a feeling of winding path. Surrounded by trees, each room is surrounded by nature and tranquility. The area of the room is very large, full of 100 square meters, high roof, dark wood decoration, and large and soft leather sofa in the living room, creating a quiet and elegant holiday atmosphere.

The Villa 4 we stayed in also had a unique design: Jinquan open-air Bath! Its design is inspired by the legend of the raven origin of Arima hot spring. The octagonal bathing pool stretches out from the rooms of the villa, surrounded by tall, dense trees, and surrounded by irregular branches to form a fence, like a bird's nest. Immersed in the gold soup, both body and mind as if with nature, such a design is really too healing.

The most amazing sight in autumn is the corridor of red leaves outside the restaurant. The red leaves are no less famous than the red leaves. The scenery inside the restaurant is even more amazing, and the gorgeous scenery in autumn will turn the large glass window into an expanded picture scroll, and then flow to the table of the restaurant, which is also virtual and real, also illusion and real.

The cuisine of the imperial Villa restaurant is also unique, on the basis of Japanese cuisine, the integration of a lot of French food practices, not only to retain the tradition, but also a lot of innovation. The final dessert brings the chef's French cuisine skills into full play. "Bird's Nest" is composed of crispy filaments. The texture is very rich.



🍁 To Arima onsen must climb Mount Rokaka! Rokaka Mountain has always been ranked among the top red leaf names in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and the Rokaka Arima Ropeway, which connects Rokaka Peak to Arima Onsen, is the most popular way to see the red leaf. Rokaka Mountain has a horse Onsen cable car must take, the cable car slowly up, the autumn colorful view, you can see the Seto inland Sea beautiful sunset seascape oh! If it is winter, you can also enjoy the rime landscape! The last bus we caught went down the hill, and on the way up we probably only saw it for ten minutes, but the view was amazing! It's great to drink coffee and wine on the mountain!


🍁 Shuipoji Park is a 20-minute walk from Arima Onsen Station. The temple was destroyed in the early Meiji period and only remains. It was built by Kobe City in 1951. There is Hideyoshi's favorite Acer plate in the park, during the autumn, you can not only sit under the red umbrella of the "Red tea House" to enjoy tea, but also enjoy the night maple during the night. It's incredible that such a premium attraction is free... ! According to legend, Toyotomi Hideyoshi loved the red leaves of Ruebo Temple and felt that he could not get tired of seeing them, so it became a well-known maple appreciation place in Kansai. The courtyard of the park is called the "Twilight Court", which means that you will not get tired even if you look at it all day.

🍁 Yuzumi Shrine, located in Arima Onsen Street, gives an unexpected surprise. It is like a secret place of red leaves. Both sides of the Sando leading to the shrine are maple leaves, and the Sando is also covered with colorful leaves. It is very beautiful.
