In the game
A steaming hot spring stream in a wooded gorge.
The real place
Arima is one of the oldest hot spring towns in Japan, in the hills behind Kobe. Toyotomi Hideyoshi loved it and rebuilt the town after a fire. The game shows wild hot springs; the real town is built up along the stream, as in the photo.
Visiting
Try both waters: the rusty-brown kinsen and the clear ginsen. Kin no Yu and Gin no Yu are the public bathhouses.
