You must stay at least one night to fully enjoy it 🥹🥹🥹
This time, I traveled from Kyoto to Arima Onsen, which was quite convenient, though finding the boarding point at Kyoto Station was a bit tricky! It only takes 75 minutes by bus from Kyoto Station to Arima. During the off-season, there are only 2 buses a day (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), but this increases to 4 buses during the peak season.
I stayed at Hyoe Koyokaku this time, and I highly recommend it! The three public baths are beautiful and have a great environment, offering both gold and silver baths! If you want to take photos, you can reserve a private bath for around HKD 200 🥰 If you have the budget, you can also book a stay with two meals included; the dinner is incredibly sumptuous 🥹 with a Japanese buffet and unlimited wagyu beef 🤤
