“Surprisingly close!”
Guide to access to Arima Onsen by bus

Hello.

Do you know where Arima Onsen is located?
You might have an image of a hot spring resort town that is located far from a major train station, with long distances to travel, or with poor accessibility. That, however, could not be further from truth!

Arima Onsen is a tranquil hot spring resort surrounded by mountains at the foot of Mt. Rokko.
In fact, it is only one hour from Osaka and 30 minutes from Kobe, making it a “surprisingly close hot spring resort!
Public transportation is excellent, especially highway buses from major stations and Osaka International Airport (Itami Airport).
You can get to the hot spring resort very smoothly without any transfers.

After enjoying shopping or a lunch in Osaka or Kobe at noon, you can be at Kosenkaku in about an hour,
In the evening, you can enjoy the rich hot spring “Kinsen,” which is free-flowing from the source, and our famous kaiseki cuisine for a relaxing and healing time.

Even if you stay only one night, you will be able to fully enjoy your trip to the hot spring.
Please feel free to consider a trip to Arima Onsen.

Today, we will provide information on access by bus from major stations.
