- Arima Hot Spring　有馬温泉 Arima Onsen -

- quote
This is a statue of Kappa, a water spirit with a red cap and a white muffler.
He looks so cold in winter so local people put these on him. Various kinds of evens are held in Arima all through a year.
A costume play event was held on Feb.3, Bean Throwing Day. Girls in costume were asked to pose for a picture.
