Kinugawa Hot Springs

It is one of the popular hot spring destinations near Nikko in Tochigi Prefecture, Kanto region. The clear, mild waters that flow from the area's hot springs have been in use since the Edo Period (1603-1867), and can be experienced at Kinugawa Hot Spring's ryokan and public baths.

Most visitors overnight at one of the largest hotel ryokan overlooking the Kinugawa River. Each of the ryokan has its own baths, some of which are open to non-staying guests during daytime.

Additionally, there are several public baths that are open to anybody. A few free foot baths are also available around Kinugawa Hot Springs.
