Kinugawa Onsen

If you’re visiting Tochigi in winter, you can’t afford to miss a long soak in one of the prefecture’s natural hot springs. Kinugawa Onsen is one of the most famous – its name, derived from the Kinugawa River, literally means ‘angry demon river’. According to local tradition, relaxing in its alkaline waters is effective for ailments ranging from burns to muscular pain to damaged skin.
