    • Please wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes plus warm clothing for the evening activities.
    • Waiting time to ride the Rokko-Arima Ropeway could be significant during the autumn leaves season.

As a result, the time available for exploring the Arima Onsen area may be shortened.

    • The visit to Arima Onsen is for walking sightseeing rather than hot spring bathing. However, you can visit one of the day hot springs if you so wish but please be aware that it will have to be rather quick and you will not have much time for sightseeing.
    • If you would like to foot bathe, please bring your own towel. Please note that Kin-no-yu and Gin-no-yu are closed on Tuesdays.
    • This tour will pick up travellers from various meeting points. There may be a chance that the bus is running late but please wait at your meeting point as the bus will eventually come.
