Our guide
Kinugawa Onsen is a hot-spring resort in the city of Nikkō, named after the Kinugawa River that runs through it — a name that means, literally, “angry demon river”. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
Kinugawa-Onsen Station on the Tōbu Kinugawa Line is about 250 m away in a straight line, so the town is easy to reach by train. Also in the city of Nikkō is Nikko Toshogu. We have not checked individual inns or baths.
