About Kinugawa Onsen Hotel

Kinugawa Onsen Hotel is a long-established hot spring hotel in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, overlooking the scenic beauty of the Kinugawa Gorge. You can compare and enjoy the skin-beautifying waters of its gentle alkaline simple spring in two large baths with distinct atmospheres: the wooden Keikoku no Yu and the stone-built Yuzato. A total of 10 baths with a wide variety of themes are available, and the morning and evening rotation lets you fully immerse yourself in hot spring bliss. Each bath area is equipped with an authentic dry sauna and a properly chilled cold plunge bath, allowing you to refresh luxuriously while feeling the pleasant breeze of nature.

Hot SpringONSEN

Keikoku no Yu Kinugawa Onsen

A large wooden bath filled with warmth, overlooking the Kinugawa Gorge below. This colorless, transparent alkaline simple spring is exceptionally gentle on the skin, so even babies and people with sensitive skin can bathe with peace of mind. Guests can enjoy a variety of baths, including a spacious wooden indoor bath, a rock open-air bath where you can soak while breathing in the clear air of nature, a Kenryoku stone bath that promotes the elimination of waste products, a germanium bath, and a half-body bath.

Yuzato Large Bath Kinugawa Onsen

A stone-built large bath with an appealing refined space made using natural stone. It offers five distinctive baths filled with alkaline simple spring water, renowned as beautiful-skin hot spring water. There is a health bath using tourmaline, a beauty bath using iolite, a healing bath using smoky quartz, as well as an open-air bath and a Yuitabi bath, each letting the theme of the stone and the mellow warmth of the water gently relax both mind and body.

Private Open-Air Bath

A paid, reservation-only private open-air bath available exclusively to staying guests. There is Touki, which features two single-person pottery tubs made of Shigaraki ware, and Kihada, a cypress-style bath designed for barrier-free access so that guests can enjoy bathing with peace of mind. Each comes with both a luxurious indoor bath and an open-air bath. In a space free from interruption, you can leisurely enjoy the mellow alkaline simple spring with your family or loved ones.
