In this issue, we will give a thorough introduction to Kinugawa Onsen, a famous hot spring resort in the Kanto region! Kinugawa Onsen is located in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, about 2 hours by train from central Tokyo, and 2.5 hours by car. It was discovered on the west side of the Kinugawa River in 1752 under the name Taki Onsen, but at that time it was a hot spring reserved for feudal lords and priests. In the Meiji era (1868-1912), the hot springs were opened to the public, and when hot springs were discovered on the east side of the river and a hydroelectric power plant was built, the water level of the Kinugawa River dropped, and the source was discovered at the bottom of the river, the area developed into a large entertainment district hot spring resort. It is called Tokyo's "Oku-Zashiki" (backstage resort), along with Hakone and Atami, which represent the Kanto region. However, after the collapse of the bubble economy, various factors led to its decline, and many large resort hotels were left in ruins as bubble legacies.
Bubble legacy in disgrace! Although hot spring resorts have been a hot topic of conversation as ruins, recent years have seen improvements in accessibility and a growing number of individual travelers and inbound tourists.
In recent years, however, there have been signs of revival by improving accessibility and accommodating individual travelers and inbound tourists.
It was truly a place too deep for me to look back on my life!
What made me think that way?
