Private Tour - A Healing Journey Filled with History and Culture in Arima
1
Arima Onsen (hot spring) is famous as the oldest hot spring resort in Japan.
The high quality of the spring water still attracts people, and many tourists from Japan and abroad come to spend a relaxing time in the old-fashioned streets.
In this tour, you can experience the deeper Arima culture by strolling around the hot spring town.
There are two main types of onsen sources in Arima Onsen: the reddish-brown "Kinsen" (Gold hot spring) and the carbonated "Ginsen" (silver hot spring). It is said to be very rare to find two hot springs with completely different ingredients gushing out in the same area.
At some of the spots, you can see the source gushing out, touch it, and drink it. We will introduce you to the mechanism of the source, and visit stores that sell Japan's first cider, which developed from carbonated water, and specialty rice crackers, to show you all the charm of Arima Onsen.
Join this tour of the highlights of Arima Onsen and experience Japan's hot spring culture!

Private Tour - A Tour to Learn all about the international port city, Kobe!
Kobe is one of Japan's most fashionable areas and known for having an unusual mix of cultures. This walking tour will take you to some of the must-visit places in Kobe alongside a private guide who will help you to better understand Kobe’s cultural background.
Kobe's diverse culture is rooted in its history as a cosmopolitan city that has always adopted and developed new things. Kobe has prospered since the Middle Ages as a key point for domestic shipping, but its role as a residential area was limited and, consequently, there was no indigenous culture to speak of. The opening of the country to the outside world in 1853 led to the establishment of foreign settlements and the influx of Western culture. It absorbed and mixed the foreign cultures that came in with the opening of the country, and nurtured its own unique culture. Today, the city thrives as one of the leading international cities in Japan, thanks to its abundant flow of international cultural exchange.

Mt. Rokko is not far from Kobe city center and is loved by citizens and tourists as a spot where they can easily enjoy nature.
In this tour, we will visit Mt. Rokko, which has a fashionable atmosphere that has become a tourist attraction, and Mt. Maya, which is loved by the locals, and introduce the highlights of each.
Mt. Rokko has been close to human habitation areas since ancient times, and as a result of deforestation for various purposes, it existed as a devastated mountain.
You will first visit Mt. Maya via ropeway and cablecar to "Kikuseidai" where you can enjoy a spectacular view. After spending some quiet time at an ancient temple with a history of over 1300 years, we will take a bus to Mount Rokko, where we will enjoy lunch at the observatory cafe. Afterward, we will take a walk around Mt. Rokko, overlooking the spectacular view from the top of the mountain.
Let's go on a journey to learn about the history hidden in the mountains of Kobe and experience the beauty of nature.
