Arima kaido

I always drive on Arima Kaido whenever I need to
visit my friends in Kita-​ku or to visit Arima onsen.
The traffic gets the worst around the rush hour
and I always hate it but this is pretty much the only way
to get through to Kita-​ku from Hyogo-​ku, the southern
part of Kobe city.
They sometimes close the highway because
of the mudslides from the heavy rain
so it’s better to be very cautious
if you are on this highway after the rain.
You will see some restaurants and
amusement facilities on the side of the highway.
If you are starving and have no choice
besides getting some food on the way,
I would recommend, Osho (cheap chinese restaurant chains),
or take a rest at Suzuran no Yu (upscale version of super sento,
they have Japanese restaurant).
