Taikō-no-yu Museum, Archaeological museum in Arimacho, Japan
The Taikō-no-yu Museum is an archaeological museum in Arimacho that displays excavated artifacts and ancient bathtubs. These objects document how the Arima hot spring resort evolved across several historical periods.
The museum was established in 1999 and preserves the legacy of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a powerful ruler who visited Arima Onsen regularly. He used the hot springs for bathing and tea ceremonies with the renowned master Sen no Rikyu.
The museum displays traditional Japanese bathing practices through artifacts recovered from different eras. Visitors can observe how hot springs and bathhouses functioned in everyday social life.
The museum sits about six minutes walking distance from Arimaonsen Station and is easy to reach on foot. It opens most days for exploration, though it closes on a few specific days each month.
The museum houses reconstructions of the Yunoyama Goten ruins and displays different types of hot spring waters. Visitors can observe water with distinct colors and properties, including springs with a golden or silvery appearance.
