The Golden Spring of Legend

The Uwanari Gensen is a primary source for Arima Onsen's famous "Kinsen" (Golden Spring). Its name, meaning "jealousy spring," comes from a legend that the water would gush violently with envy whenever a beautiful woman passed by. [3, 6, 7] Once an intermittent spring, it is now drilled and its waters are distributed to many establishments in Arima via other sources like the Gosho Sengen. [3, 6, 7] Rich in iron and salt, this spring is known for its characteristic reddish-brown color upon oxidation and its ability to warm the body to its core.

The Taiko's Wish-Fulfilling Spring

Gokuraku Gensen is a source for the iconic "Kinsen" (gold spring) of Arima Onsen, one of Japan's three ancient hot springs. It was once called "Negai no Yu" (Spring of Wishes) and its history is tied to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had its waters channeled to his private bathhouse. The rich water, which turns a reddish-brown when exposed to air, has been cherished by therapeutic bathers for centuries. Its high salt concentration envelops the skin, providing long-lasting warmth after bathing. Steeping in this historic spring, you can feel the deep warmth that once soothed samurai warlords, offering a true escape from daily fatigue.

Why onsen are considered good for Wound Healing

The benefits of an onsen vary by spring type. Certain spring types are traditionally considered good for Wound Healing, and the corresponding indications are listed in the legally required onsen analysis sheets. my Onsen Techo ranks the onsen best suited to your symptom and area based on analysis-sheet data, which is mandated for display under Article 18 of Japan's Hot Spring Act. Each onsen page shows mineral visualisations, bathing tips and booking options.
