Tochigi
5 onsen areas
Kawaji Onsen
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.
Oku-Nikkō Yumoto Onsen
Mountain onsen at the headwaters of Lake Yunoko inside Nikkō National Park, 1500 m above the temples of Nikkō. Cloudy sulfur springs in a primeval beech forest.
Kinugawa Onsen
Tochigi resort town in the Kinugawa River gorge — gateway to Nikko and a long-time family destination, with cliff-top rotenburo overlooking the canyon.
Shiobara Onsen-kyo
Eleven onsen districts strung along a 9-km gorge of the Hoki River in Tochigi. Wide range of spring chemistries within a tight valley.
Nasu Onsen-kyo
Onsen group along the foothills of Mount Chausu, with Nasu-Yumoto's milky sulfur waters at its heart.
