Taiko no Yu

Taiko no Yu (太閤の湯), located within the Arima View Hotel, is a contemporary onsen complex that adds a luxurious touch to Arima Onsen’s centuries-old bathing culture. This expansive facility features a wide variety of indoor and open-air baths filled with both kinsen (“golden spring”) and ginsen (“silver spring”) waters, renowned for their rich mineral content and healing properties. Guests can soak in oversized ceramic tubs, unwind in natural stone baths, or experience a replica of a historic bath—faithfully recreated as seen in the nearby Arima Onsen Museum. Traditional saunas and steam rooms complement the experience, all set within a tranquil, beautifully designed space that promotes deep relaxation.

Beyond its bathing facilities, Taiko no Yu offers a complete wellness experience. The complex includes massage and reflexology services, ideal for relieving travel fatigue. Several dining options serve local specialties, giving guests a chance to savor seasonal flavors without leaving the premises. On-site souvenir shops sell everything from skincare products made with Arima’s mineral-rich water to handcrafted goods. Between soaks, visitors can rest in serene tatami lounges or Western-style relaxation rooms, making it easy to spend hours in total comfort. With its blend of historic charm and modern indulgence, Taiko no Yu provides an immersive and rejuvenating onsen escape.
