12 Days in Japan Ep.3 Hiking Kobe to Arima Onsen Hot Springs. 六甲山から有馬温泉へ登山　Inspired by Kraig Adams

In this episode, I went on a hike to Arima Onsen (Hot Spring Resort) from Mt Rokko in Kobe.
This hiking route is very easy. Anyone can enjoy and have fun. Imaging going on a hike and your destination is the hot springs. That just sounds perfect to me.

You don’t need a professional gear to do this hike.
Make sure you have some sought of a snack to keep the hiking entertaining.
The snack I brought was the Kintsuba. It’s red bean bar that’s perfect to carry as an energy bar. I got this bar from right near my house. It’s been loved by the locals since 1945
