Explore Kinugawa Onsen in 4K: A 2-Day Journey in Tochigi – Top Picks & Ishinkan Stay with Spacia X

Thank you for watching! Today we will depart from Kasukabe, which is well-known for Crayon Shin-chan.We will take the Tobu Railway to Kinugawa Onsen.Since it is early on a weekday, there will be few people on the passage.Crayon Shin-chan illustrationsWe will board the limited express Liberty from platform 3. There was Himawari from Crayon Shin-chan

It was my first time to ride a Tobu Railway limited express, so I was excited… Spacia A backpack that makes you feel like you can spend a relaxing time.A backpack iPad mini is a must-have item.You can watch Youtube videos and enjoy the scenery from the train window.If

You hook up the iRing, you can watch videos without using a table.It’s like a monitor on an airplane, and it’s very comfortable. A very idyllic landscape of countryside continues.According to the announcement on the train, this area is called the “Nikko Cedar Avenue”.

Masatsuna Matsudaira, a loyal retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu, spent more than 20 years planting over 200,000 cedar trees. That’s what I did… I’m healed by the idyllic scenery for a while. Finally, I arrive at my destination, Kinugawa Onsen Station. It’s a shame, but I get off the comfortable train. See you again, Liberty-chan.

The ticket gate has a Japanese atmosphere… The inside of the station … It was very beautiful. This is what it looks like from the outside of the station . The Kinugawa River is famous for its “Oni” bronze statue “SL Taiju .” The footbath of “Kinuta no Yu” is right nearby

. It’s warm and relaxing… Now, let’s start from here. I walked to my accommodation for the day. According to Google Maps, it takes about 10 minutes. It’s the perfect distance for a walk around Kinugawa Onsen. There are many souvenir shops in front of the station

, and after walking for a while, there are many hotels and inns that are quite old. There seem to be a lot of buildings.Maybe because it’s a weekday, there aren’t many people… The hot spring steamed buns at this shop look really delicious…I guess I’ll just head home.Map of this areaIt

Seems like we’re right in the middle of the hotel/ryokan area around Kinugawa.I got off. There was another demon on the stairs.It seems to be a long bridge called “Fureai Bridge” that allows you to cross the Kinugawa River from above.Also , here is Kinuta-kun, a very nice inn.I

Want to stay here someday.We pass by the Kinugawa Plaza Hotel. … Today, we will be staying at Isshinkan, a 100-year-old post station.The souvenir shop has a very nice atmosphere right from the front entrance.You can feel the Japanese atmosphere.At the back is a rest area overlooking the Kinugawa River.

The atmosphere here is nice as well.Then, take the elevator to the venue and the guest rooms.The corridor to the guest rooms has a spacious Japanese atmosphere . You can eat the eggs half-boiled at any time you like.It was such a delicious meal that

I couldn’t help but want to make a mini cutlet bowl🙏After the meal, I went to the hot springs on the 1st floor.It seems that the hot springs for men and women are different depending on the time of the day.There are various bathing programs

Such as lotion and milky lotion. I’m glad it’s fully equipped ♪ Let’s enter…! There is also a large bathing area with a mild sauna for one person with a bathing program called “Hakomushi”, a jet bath with a resting bench , a foam bath, a lying bath , a standing bath,

An open-air bath, and a sauna. The hot water in the changing room was nice.There seems to be a paid training gym and a swimming pool.Have a glass of cold water from the cold water machine… It’s the best after a bath♪ After refreshing yourself in the hot springs, it’s time for dinner. I

Had a Japanese dinner with seafood and simmered dishes.I was very satisfied with the delicious rice and miso soup♪ Thank you for the meal🙏My stomach was full, so I headed to the guest room where I would be staying today.Today I headed to the room on the 5th floor. Enter guest room

503, which accommodates 3 to 4 people. Bathroom, washroom , toilet , main room through the hallway.It was a spacious and spacious guest room.The next morning, the men and women had been swapped, so we went to the open-air bath. There seems to be a free “Iwatsubame-no-Yu.”

The one in the foreground is the paid private “Shinsen-no-Yu,” which is a hot spring in a wooden bathtub.The free “Iwatsubame-no-Yu” is like a rock bath.It’s a little lukewarm in temperature. Personally, I’m very satisfied♪ I can see the Kinugawa River from outside the window.

It seems that the men and women in the large public bath have been swapped, so I took a quick look… There was no sauna, but it was also spacious and relaxing. After the morning bath, I headed to the breakfast venue. Today ‘s breakfast will be served at Satsukiya.A

Very luxurious Japanese breakfast in the morning.The miso soup is red and the duck hot pot is refreshing.The standard grilled salmon for breakfast is also delicious.We also had 3 refills of delicious rice. That’s it…♪ Next, for lunch, we had seafood curry Umesawa Umetaro Shoten’s rakkyo tamari pickle which was exquisite…!

It’s a shame to leave behind Isshinkan, but I’m going to take a walk and head back to the station.I’ll take a different route from the way I came.I highly recommend the Kinugawa Karinto Manju.Kinugawa Onsen and Kawaji Onsen are also tourist destinations. From the bridge behind Isshinkan, you can see the Kinugawa River… the

Greenery of the valley and the sound of the flowing river are very soothing…! This bridge was also a large and splendid bridge that allowed you to cross the Kinugawa River.There was also a footbath here.Unfortunately , it was under preparation… Is the staircase going down to the river old? No entry was allowed…

I went down another nearby staircase and the sound of the river was approaching.The staircase that was off-limits earlier had a dilapidated and ruin-like atmosphere, which was also nice… although I could hear the sound of the river. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see the river. .

After the footbath, I go up the stairs that look like a back alley.The nostalgic atmosphere is irresistible.As I pass through the road, I see an abandoned hotel.Is this also a ruin? Is this the path to the hot springs…? An incredibly large parking lot in the city center… Is this a hotel company building?

A shop that seems to have a lot of history As I walked along the Tobu Line tracks, I heard the sound of a railroad crossing…A train came to a railroad crossing with only sidewalks.The two-car train passed by in a blink of an eye… Just a little more to the station…

“Kinugawa Onsen Station Shortcut” Passing under the signboard railway I got the impression that many of the shops were closed, probably because it was a weekday, whether it was a coffee shop or a souvenir shop.This shop seems to be open.In front of the store, there are “Warm Manju”

At a reasonable price of 80 yen each… ! I entered the shop. All kinds of souvenirs were lined up in a row. I bought some local socks for my family and went home. Hello Kitty and Lemon Milk Collaboration

When it comes to Nikko, there is no evil to be seen, no evil to be said, no evil to be heard. There are plenty of food and drink souvenirs. Many of the alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are local. The strawberry-flavored Kinugawa cider looks delicious. There are also plenty of sweets

. Again, I ended up choosing the lemon milk (langue de chat). There are various types of billing options. Cashless payments were available.After completing my shopping successfully, I headed back to the station.I arrived at the station.My two-day, one-night trip to Kinugawa Onsen was over… the last view I could see.The

Train on the way back was the new Spacia X. I was so excited because I happened to get a ticket ♪ The white car body is very beautiful and the windows are designed with the letter “X” which is really cool…! The last stop is Kasukabe, the same as when going to Asakusa.It’s

A new model and the office is very clean.I got a seat by the window this time, and it looks like I’ll be able to relax while looking at the scenery on the way back♪ By the way, I have a standard seat, but I moved to the rear car. And…

This is the premium seat.Moving to the back of another car, this is the cockpit lounge.I heard the explanation, but it seems to be a super popular place that requires reservations…! This time, I moved to the front car.This is a box seat for two people.Furthermore, there was a toilet in the front car.As

Expected, it is a new model, so it is clean.Now that the tour of the inside of the car is almost over, I can relax in the seat… Kinugawa cider and Spacia From the window of the X… It was delicious with a refreshing taste that was not too sweet.Take a

Breather with wasabi fava beans and non-alcoholic beer. . Have a blissful moment… Enjoy the scenery for a while ♪ By the way, Spacia X seems to have an additional premium seat in the first car…! I would like to ride it again when I travel to Kinugawa Onsen!

This is the view of the premium seat section from outside the car . Thank you! Spacia X! ! I’ll come back for a ride! ! ! Crayon Shin-chan welcomed us at the arrival platform ♪ It was a fun two days . Thank you for watching until the end!
