Test & review of the Arima onsen Taiko-no-yu in Kobe (Japan)
To find out how a session in an Onsen takes place, it’s this way.This Onsen is located in a zone on the outskirts of Kobe, known to be close to a fault generating deep fissures in the rock. Ideal to recover deep hot springs.The Onsen Taiko-no-yu is inside the Arima View Hotel but you can go there without staying there.As usual the first step is to put our shoes in a locker (no need for a coin).We then exchange the key of the locker for an electronic bracelet that will allow us to buy food, drinks, massages, …The entrance is quite expensive: 2400 yen per person. At this price everything…

Test and review of the Sento Shimizuyu in Osaka (Japan)
To find out how a session in an Onsen takes place, it’s this way.As usual, we take off our shoes at the entrance (no need for a locker room).No automatic machine for buying tickets, you ask directly to the lady at the reception desk.The reception is a little cold, at least that’s our perception.440 yen the entrance, 30 yen the soap, 20 yen the shampoo.The locker room is non-smoking, which isn’t often the case with the popular sentos, which is a good thing.Small curiosity, the baths are above the checkroom, so we take the elevator to get there.The sento Shimizuyu is a little bigger than the neighborhood sentos we have…

He is also known to have been the voice of French rugby for 20 years.Passionate about traveling, he continues to travel the world for pleasure.Pierre Salviac was kind enough to grant us an express interview.You’ve been traveling for 50 years, what are the big differences compared to today?The main revolution in travel lies in the comparative flight price engines. And in platforms such as booking.You now travel for pleasure, are you the type to plan everything or to improvise once you get there?It is the flight offer…

Test and review of the Sento Akashi-yu in Osaka (Japan)
To find out how a session in an Onsen takes place, it’s this way.It is the nearest Sento that we are testing this time, it is 300 meters away. As usual we take off the shoes before entering (no need for a locker room).An automatic machine allows you to buy what you want. It is translated into English which greatly facilitates operations.The entrance fee is 440 yen. Small surprise, the sauna isn’t included in this price. So we decide to take the “kit” entrance + sauna + large towel at 640 yens.One enters and the manageress explains us as she can that the sauna is only 50°C, which isn’t much…

Test & review of sento Suehiroyu in Osaka (Japan)
To find out how a session in an Onsen takes place, it’s this way.As our bathroom is tiny and the apartment quite cold, we make a habit of going every other day to wash ourselves in an onsen or sento.As long as we do, we test a new one each time.Today it is the turn of the sento Suehiroyu which is next door.As usual we take off the shoes and put them in a small locker (no room is needed for the locker).A machine is used to buy the tickets.Everything is in Japanese but we are starting to get used to it, you have two main rates : For 440…
