Welcome to Kinugawa Onsen. The
hot springs were first discovered in 1691. At first only the
Daimyo who built the Nikko Shrine and the Buddhists monks
of Mount Nikko could bath in the onsen. In 1927, railway service
was introduced and since then Kinugawa Onsen has developed
into one of the largest onsen resort areas in Japan. There
are several bridges which span the Kinu river which are pleasant
for evening walks. In the summer, many visitors from Tokyo
flock to see the popular Ryuosai Festival with its traditional
dances and music.
Ryokan with Hot Springs (There is an onsen tax of about 150 yen to 500
yen or more per person at many ryokans)
