We are back in Tochigi prefecture to highlight another fantastic local area: Kinugawa Onsen! Located only about 2 hours from Tokyo, this area is an excellent onsen getaway from Tokyo.
In this article, we talked to Toshiki Akutsu, from Nikko City’s Tourism Department, where he shared his local knowledge with us. We hope you will find it useful in discovering a local’s perspective of what Kinugawa Onsen has to offer.
I would recommend any season.
The Kinugawa Onsen（鬼怒川温泉）area is an attractive place throughout the four seasons.
In spring, the cherry blossoms burst into full bloom, and the addition of lights enhances the enchanting atmosphere, making it even more magical.
During summer, indulge in a variety of water activities along the Kinugawa River. As autumn sets in, the Ryuokyo Gorge(龍王峡）transforms into a captivating display of vivid autumn leaves, creating a truly wonderful sight.
During winter, the entire area is blanketed in snow, creating a fantastic and enchanting atmosphere.
