Kin no Yu

Kin no Yu (金の湯), situated in the heart of Arima Onsen, is the largest of the town’s two public bathhouses. Known for its therapeutic “gold” water, the facility offers two indoor baths of different temperatures for each gender, providing a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The mineral-rich water is believed to promote circulation and overall well-being, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors.

Beyond the baths, Kin no Yu offers additional amenities to enhance your visit. Outside the bathhouse, guests can enjoy a free foot bath (ashiyu) while soaking in the atmosphere of Arima Onsen’s charming streets. A drinking fountain with the famous “gold” water is also available, offering a unique way to experience the spring’s benefits.
