Arima Onsen Ginsuiso Choraku

有馬温泉銀水荘兆楽

# Kinsen (gold spring) and Ginsen (silver spring) both all to yourself

A quiet inn surrounded by an oak grove. Arima's two signature waters, the reddish-brown Kinsen (gold spring) and the clear, colorless Ginsen (silver spring), can both be enjoyed on the premises. The private open-air bath (kashikiri) is in a separate building, a semi-open-air design with trees pressing in just beyond the tub. The Ginsen (silver spring) side also has a standing-depth bath 120 cm deep, and you can spend 50 unhurried minutes looking out at the forest. Shiki, the rooms with a private open-air bath, belong to an inn that won a special prize in the 100 Best Japanese Ryokan awards. With their own parking, they give the two of you a Kinsen (gold spring) open-air bath, a Ginsen (silver spring) semi-open-air bath and even a foot bath all to yourselves.
