有馬温泉は六甲山の裏に位置しています。（表は海側と言われています）

先日、太陽がギラギラと有馬一帯を照らす中、有馬温泉から六甲山に続く道、「魚屋道」を通って六甲山頂に行ってきました(^O^)／

９時にホテルから出発し、開店準備に追われているお土産物屋さんを目にしながら魚屋道登山口を目指しました・・・が登山口に着くころには既に疲れてふらふらです。有馬は坂が多いので大変なのです・・・とはいえここからが本番！！
「暑い！」「しんどい」「汗が目に染みる」「足痛い」「息が苦しい」
等と言いながらも山頂に無事到着しました(*^▽^*)

Hiking from Arima Onsen to Mt. Rokko

The other day, we enjoyed a wonderful hike from Arima Onsen to Mt. Rokko.

We took the Uoyamichi Trail, a historic trail connecting Arima and the Kobe area. The name “Uoyamichi,” which literally means “Fishmonger’s Road,” is said to come from the fact that fish were once transported along this route from the seaside area of Kobe to Arima.

Under the bright sun shining over the Arima area, we first walked uphill from Merveille Arima toward the trailhead. We were already feeling quite tired at this point… but this was only the beginning!

From the trailhead, we entered the mountain and continued our hike. Along the way, we found ourselves saying things like, “I’m tired,” “My legs hurt,” “I can’t catch my breath,” and “It’s so hot!” But somehow, we managed to make it all the way to the summit!

From the top of Mt. Rokko, you can enjoy spectacular views stretching from Kobe on the seaside all the way to Osaka, as well as the mountainside of Kobe.

It was a challenging hike, but the beautiful scenery and sense of accomplishment at the summit made it all worthwhile. If you are looking for an active way to enjoy the natural beauty around Arima Onsen, why not give the Uoyamichi Trail a try?

海側の景色を撮影することが出来なかったのですが、お天気も良く、素晴らしい景色を見ることができました(^^)/

これから秋に向けて六甲山は登山のお客様で賑わいます♪
有馬温泉もとても賑わいます(*^▽^*)
ぜひ、登山と温泉を楽しんでみて下さいね！
