Aug 29–31, 2025 Kobe & Umeda Sauna Journey

Hyogo and Osaka prefectures are home to numerous sauna and onsen facilities that represent the best of Japan. My personal 'must-visit list' already contains over 50 establishments. This trip took me to 'Safi Spa Maiko,' 'Arima Onsen Taikou-no-yu,' 'New Japan Umeda,' 'Kobe Sauna & Spa,' and 'Arima Kaido Onsen Suzuran-no-Yu.' What kind of sauna experiences await at each of these facilities?
