Some photos of my trip to Mt. Rokko and Arima Onsen last weekend. Mt. Rokko is really a part of very high range of hills overlooking Kobe and the Kansai basin. They’ve developed the top of it with a whole stack of pretty interesting things including a mini pasture, a cheese factory and a music museum. There’s about four seperate cablecars and ropeways leading up there and a bus service that runs around the top, so it’s a good way to spend a couple of hours.

From the top of Mt. Rokko I took a ropeway down the backside (away from Kobe) to Arima Onsen, apparent one of the three most famous hot spring towns in Japan. I’m a real Onsen convert actually, there’s absolutely nothing better for getting so hideously relaxed you just feel like melting into the ground.
