Okukinu Onsen Hotel Kaniyu (奥鬼怒温泉 加仁湯)
4.0
This onsen hotel located in Nikko City’s Kawamata district in Tochigi Prefecture also allows day trip bathing. They draw their hot spring water from five different sources, so guests can enjoy onsen flowing with an abundance of natural hot spring water. The rotemburo (outdoor baths) which are surrounded by river stones allow bathers to appreciate the appearance of a secluded hot spring with the nature of the inner Kinu area and the cloudy hot water. There are also a mixed outdoor bath set apart in a narrow area, a private outdoor bath, and indoor bathing areas. During dinner when staying overnight, in addition to trying locally harvested mountain vegetables and river fish, guests can also make advance reservations to try specialties like deer meat.

Tochigi Areas

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi's capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
