Kinugawa Onsen: Hot Spring Resort in a Beautiful Valley

⛩️ Tochigi|May 11, 2026

Hot Spring Resort in Valley Beauty

Kinugawa Onsen is a hot spring resort with inns lining the Kinugawa Valley. Easily accessible about 2 hours from central Tokyo on the Tobu Express "Spacia," it is popular for weekend getaways.

Open-Air Baths Along the River

Soaking in open-air baths while enjoying valley views is extraordinary. Experience both the grandeur of the rocky gorge and the comfort of the hot springs simultaneously. Autumn foliage season is especially beautiful.

Nikko-Kinugawa Combined Trip

Kinugawa Onsen offers easy access to Nikko, and many tourists visit Nikko Toshogu, Kegon Falls, and Lake Chuzenji in combination. Tobu World Square is also a popular nearby attraction.
