Autumn Day 5 : Osaka Arima Onsen (有馬溫泉)
By admin | April 27, 2009
CP told me must try the Arima Onsen (有馬溫泉) if I am in Osaka because there is one of the most famous and oldest Onsen place. This place already included in our itinerary.
After the delicious Kobe Beef lunch was about 1.30pm only. We decided to depart to Arima right after the lunch. We walked back to the Sannomiya Station(三宮駅) and queue in the bus station departure to Arima Onsen. It cost us 690Yen per person to get to the Arima. Almost 90% of the bus passengers are senior Japanese! I think all Ah Gong Ah Poh going to Arima to enjoy Onsen.

We were walking up the hill to find the Kin-no-yu (金の湯) and Gin-no-yu (銀の湯).

We passed by the Gin no yu first but decided to go further to find the Kin no yu. Quite many people dipping foot at outside of Gin-no-yu (銀の湯). We were so lazy to take off our shoes to try. so just passed it by only.

Arrived Kin-no-yu (金の湯) and can’t wait to dip into Onsen. We bought the ticket at the vending machine. There are few ticket options available. Single entry to Kin-no-yu (金の湯) at 650Yen or Gin-no-yu (銀の湯) at 550yen. Entry to Kin-no-yu (金の湯) and Gin-no-yu (銀の湯) at 890Yen. Being stingy traveler, we picked the ticket for Kin-no-yu (金の湯) and Gin-no-yu (銀の湯). But…three of us are regretted to buy this ticket at last.

I felt so tired after bath at Kin-no-yu (金の湯), but still have to go for the Gin-no-yu (銀の湯) because do not want to waste the ticket. Also, I want to see what is the different of these two onsen.
Once arrived at Gin-no-yu (銀の湯), passed the ticket to counter and straight away went into Onsen after placed our shoes in the cabinet. Take off all the cloth like roket and repeat what we done in the Kin-no-yu (金の湯). Look very funny as we just like FORCED to go onsen with extremely tired body. hmm.. we were like zombie taking Onsen.
