Arima hot spring has a history of over a thousand years. When Japan established its first capital in Nara during the 7th century/Arima was already a developed spa/ having been discovered by mountain mystics who were searching for medicinal herbs. Historical accounts relate that Japans earliest emperors/and its most venerated Buddhist saints including Gyoki and Ninsai/ came to steam their earthy cares away in Arimas medicinal waters. Even the great warlord Hideyoshi Toyotomi/ a man known for his iron will/ was turned to jelly in the steaming stone cauldrons of Arima. After his well-publicized visits during the late 1500s/ Arimas fame was assured.
