Tochigi resort town in the Kinugawa River gorge — gateway to Nikko and a long-time family destination, with cliff-top rotenburo overlooking the canyon.

Quiet gorge onsen at the confluence of the Kinu and Kawaji rivers in Tochigi, just upstream of bustling Kinugawa. The local saying "Kawaji for cuts, Kinugawa for ailments" nods to its gentle alkaline waters and traditional yutoji feel.
