Kobe: Arima Onsen and Kobe Beef Meal - Osaka Day Trip


One of often recommended places to view Authum leaves is at Arima Onsen.
Arima Onsen
We took the train from Osaka to Kobe Station, which was the wrong station to purchase the Arima Onsen ticket. We backtracked to Shin Kobe.

Arima Onsen is famed for its onsen, and being autumn coinciding with autumn leaves viewing, it was already crowded when we arrived. TP mentioned that he visited it when he came last year, and decided to skip the onsen. I chose to go to the one of them and he would be at the cafe.

The town was crowded. We made our way to the cable car station. 
The autumn leave landscape from the cable car was spectacular and beautiful!




Mount Rokko
We had a short break and snack in a cafe at Mount Rokko.



Kobe Beef Lunch
We were too late for the lunch set and thus have to order the standard set. 
The meal was delicious and worth paying the extra to have a memorable meal.


We made our way back to Osaka after the meal.
