Kinugawaonsen

3.0

This hot spring district sprawling along the Kinugawa River is one of the largest in the country. The area's hot springs were discovered on the grounds of a Shinto shrine in the Edo period and it is said that only lords and high priests were allowed to bathe in their waters. The area's alkaline simple springs have a smooth and velvety feel and are said to aid in recovery from fatigue and promote health in addition to alleviating nerve pain, muscle soreness, and skin disease. The area is dotted with renowned things to see and do, including Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura, Tobu World Square, and the Kinugawa Line Kudari River Cruise, and the district bustles with tourists making use of the hot spring village as a base for sightseeing activities.

鬼怒川の岩場の滝の遊歩道

Reviewed : 2021.01.17

鬼怒川沿いの１キロの遊歩道。滝もあるとのことで歩いてみました。確かに河原沿いですが、自然感満載という感じではありません。景色的には、大滝付近の岩場の激流が見所。ただ、遊歩道にある滝の展望台よりも、国道の鬼怒岩橋から見下ろす方がよい風景でした。
