Arima Onsen, Kobe 2025 Walking Tour [4K/HDR/Binaural]

Join me on a relaxing walk through Arima Onsen, a spring town in Kobe, nestled just 30 minutes by bus from Sannomiya Station. Though I’ve known about this place since I was a child, this was actually my first time visiting—and it truly lived up to its reputation. Arima is one of Japan’s oldest hot spring towns, famous for its unique waters: “Kin-no-Yu” (Golden Hot Spring) and “Gin-no-Yu” (Silver Hot Spring). As we walk through its narrow, sloping streets, you’ll pass by atmospheric temples, hidden alleyways, and stylish cafés that blend traditional charm with modern flair. The town’s peaceful, nostalgic feel makes it a perfect getaway from the city. No narration, no music—just the sights and sounds of this beautiful town. I hope you enjoy walking through Arima Onsen with me.

  1. I don't think many of us would mind if you stopped to talk to someone who greeted you like this. Or if you prefer, edit that portion out with a caption. This might happen to you more and more as your channel grows.
