Marlene in Japan

Ohayou, This post will be about Arima onsen. The last weekend before school started my parents and I went to Arima Onsen which is located outside of Kobe. Arima Onsen is one of Japan's most famous onsen. For you who don´t know what onsen is, it´s basically, a hot bath with water from the mountains (het källa). So kind of like a spa but with natural water. It is something that should be on your bucket list if you plan to visit Japan!  It took us around 1 hour with a bus ( if I remember it right) to get there from Osaka. We had booked a room at a Ryokan, kind of a traditional Japanese hotel/inn. I can really recommend staying at a Ryokan if you are visiting an Onsen, it´s an experience! You get served 24/7 room service included in the price. However, we didn´t have the drinks included, except the tea and water. You get served the dinner at the room, they make the beds for you, we even got to select which pillow we wanted out of, 8 different options haha, the first time that
