Kinugawa Hot Spring

Upon alighting at Kinugawa Onsen Station, I was greeted by a panel depicting a steam locomotive and a footbath. The scenery along the way to the hotel was like a painting; the mountains were bursting with fresh greenery, and cherry blossoms …

My boss brings me here on his days off. The historic Kinugawa Onsen is impressive and breathtaking. It will add a touch of luxury to your precious time together. It's a precious hot spring where you can feel the history of Kinugawa firsthand.

The station has been renovated and the waiting room is now comfortable, and outside the station there is a foot bath and a turntable for turning the steam locomotive around, so there is plenty to enjoy just around the station.

I'm more concerned about the number of abandoned shops than the abandoned hotels. I think these could be demolished and redeveloped, so I hope they consider it.

it’s clean and quiet, absolutely beautiful with cherry blossom, yet those abandoned buildings look a bit scary
