A perfect trip. Stay in the best area of Kobe at a discounted price and enjoy the hot springs of Arima Taiko

During this trip to Kobe, I chose to stay at [Kobe Plaza Hotel West]. The location is great, right next to JR Motomachi Station. You can reach the hotel within two minutes. The arcade shopping street, convenience stores, and restaurants are all concentrated, and the living functions are impeccable. 🏨 The hotel itself is a simple and modern business style. The rooms are clean, quiet, and well-equipped. The stay experience is quite good. The most surprising thing is that the price is very affordable. It really makes people feel that it is worth the money to be able to live in such a location. It is very suitable for both light travel and business trips. ⸻ 🍱 Breakfast is the highlight: exquisite Japanese set menu makes the morning special The breakfast of this hotel is not buffet style, but set menu. After choosing Japanese breakfast, the service staff will personally serve a set of exquisite and healing combination: • Hot white rice + miso soup • Mackerel, tamagoyaki, several refreshing side dishes and pickles • A bowl of seasonal stew to end, the portion is just right and the nutrition is balanced No extra noise, just quietly eat a carefully prepared breakfast, and start a comfortable rhythm for the whole day. ⸻ 🌿 Starting from Kobe, soak in a golden hot spring-Golden Pavilion-Yu After taking the tram for about 40 minutes, I came to [Arima Onsen] for a one-day trip. This is one of the three ancient hot springs in Japan. The hot spring street retains the traditional style, with bridges, small rivers, handmade shops and hot spring buns. Just walking on the road makes me feel slower. The hot spring I chose is the most representative [Golden Pavilion No Yu (Golden Hot Spring)]. The spring water is golden yellow, and it is a salt spring containing iron. It is warm and not hot, with a little geothermal aroma. After soaking, the whole body is warm, and then slowly walk along the stream, the whole person feels like being recharged. ⸻ 🌇 After returning to the city of Kobe, visit Kitano Ijinkan and Nankinmachi, and then have a bowl of ramen to end the perfect trip. There is no pressure on the itinerary, and each section is just right. ⸻ ✍️ Summary Kobe Plaza Hotel West let me experience what is called "affordable but uncompromising accommodation options". Combined with the leisure of Kobe city and the healing feeling of Arima Onsen, this trip has a relaxed rhythm and rich content, which is my ideal light travel.
