The area is renowned for its natural beauty and relaxation. Kinugawa Onsen is a major hot spring resort destination nestled in the mountains of Tochigi Prefecture. An interesting fact about the region is that it developed alongside the popularity of nearby Nikko's Toshogu Shrine, with visitors extending their trips to enjoy the therapeutic waters. The closest major landmark is the spectacular Kegon Falls in Nikko National Park, one of Japan's three most beautiful waterfalls, easily accessible for a day trip.
