Overview
About Gin-no-Yu Onsen
Gin no Yu is a serene public bathhouse located in the historic Arima Onsen district of Kobe, Japan. Renowned for its "Ginsen" or "silver spring" waters, this onsen offers a tranquil retreat amidst the town's traditional ambiance.
Gin no Yu's baths are filled with carbonated radium-rich waters, known for their therapeutic properties. These waters are believed to alleviate ailments such as nerve and joint pain, and leave the skin smooth and hydrated.
The bathhouse is designed to resemble traditional rock baths, providing a spacious and calming environment. Amenities include a Vibra Bath with gentle bubbles, a therapeutic waterfall bath, and a steam sauna. Body soap, shampoo, and hair dryers are provided, with towels available for purchase.

Suggest to buy the Arima Onsen combo ticket, including bus round trip from Kobe city and ticket for Golden Onsen and Silver Onsen. Bring your own towel or you can buy one at the counter. Not that special compared with the Golden Onsen, but also quieter!
GoogleGreat Onsen for a traditional experience, everyone was welcoming and the staff were super helpful! Also allows tattoos! The massage chairs and vending machines were a lovely touch afterwards too, would highly recommend the arima soda to refresh afterward!
Trip AdvisorNot overly fancy. But a nice and well-kept place. Friendly staff helps you along if you don't speak Japanese. Just an indoor bath. You need to bring (or buy inexpensive, 300 y) towels.
Trip AdvisorIf you buy a ticket for this or Kin no yu you can enter the near by temple/museum for free. Both big towel for 500 JPY.
