List of my travel diary My train photoes The other contents

Arima Onsen

I made an appointment with my friend at Osaka-Namba station. But, either of them went to Taisho station.
He said that it was because he thought Osaka-Namba meant JR Namba station.
Then, I told him to go to Nishikujo station in order to save the time. I went to Nishikujo by using Hanshin Namba Line with my friend who was waiting for me at Osaka-Namba station.
Fortunately, we met him at Nishikujo station. We headed for Sannomiya.


First, we dropped in at Ikuta shrine. I was surprised that it is next to TOKYU HANDS. At Ikuta shrine, my friends bought Omikuji, which is the paper tells fortune.


After leaving Ikuta shrine, we went to Kachoen by taking Port Liner. There, we saw many kinds of rare birds.

Long mouth



I've heard their names


A stuff told us that she can give us the chance to put a bird on our hands. But,the cost 500 Yen discouraged us to do so.
We returned to Sannnomiya. We ate lunch at Kobe Beef restaurant. We couldn't find it high class restaurant before entering. My friends had Kobe Beef Steak and I had Kobe Beef Burger. Of course, it tasted great.


Last, we went to Arima Onsen. It is the main purpose of this trip. By taking subway(Seishin-Yamate line and Hokushin Kyuko Line) and Shintetsu Line, we reached Arima Onsen station. We took a hot spring, what is called "Kin no yu", which is famous for brown hot water. We chatted there more than two hours. Most of the chatting was about romance among students in our university.
When we were about to go back to Osaka, we found it snowed outside of the facility.


We returned to Osaka-Namba and had dinner on the sixth floor of NAMBA PARKS.
All of us went home.
