Visited Kinugawa Hot Springs. This time I stayed at the famous hot spring hotel – Kinugawa Grand Hotel Dream Season. It is a hotel surrounded by Japanese gardens, supplemented by traditional Japanese style. You can experience and feel Japanese culture. (→Check price)
From Tokyo JR Asakusa Station to Kinugawa Onsen Station, it takes more than two hours by car to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the suburbs of Tokyo along the way. After arriving here, you will be surrounded by mountains and lined with blue sky and white clouds. Initially, it feels a bit like Taiwan. The view of Huadong.In the early days, Kinugawa Onsen was referred to as "Takinoyu" and "Shitaki Onsen," meaning waterfall-like hot springs. It is also a famous hot spring with more than 300 years of history.
Until 1927, it was renamed Kinugawa Hot Springs, which is as famous as the upstream Kawaji Hot Springs. It has unique scenery of mountains and rivers. In addition, it is more than 2 hours drive from Tokyo and matched with some famous scenic spots in Nikko. It has become the third arrangement for Japanese. One of the options during the day and night holiday.When we dragged our luggage out of the station, we also saw a lot of Japanese tourists. They were carrying light luggage bags with us towards the Kinugawa Onsen Hotel.
Looking at the map on the phone, I walked all the way from an overpass that crossed the level crossing next to the station to the direction of the hotel, but in fact, I went straight straight after I got out of the station, toward the "Yile" shop selling souvenirs, and followed The indicator can be reached through a small underpass, so there is no need to carry heavy luggage and climb up and down.

Kinugawa Hot Spring belongs to the Nikko National Park in Tochigi Prefecture. It can be said to be a well-known hot spring tourist attraction in the northern Kanto area. There are many hot spring hotels along the valley. The Kinugawa Grand Hotel Dream Season is also one of the most famous ones.Before walking to the hotel, there is already a list of several chambers of commerce that welcome to book activities here.While the staff at the counter assisted in the check-in process, they looked around the lobby. There were spacious seats, souvenir shops, etc., standing among the Japanese gardens.
When we came back from the afternoon, it was raining and freezing cold in Kinugawa Onsen. The counter staff and the female waiter held an umbrella at the door to pick us up. They were afraid that we were cold enough to serve hot tea. After a sip, the body was slightly warmer. .The female player asked us to sit in the lobby for a short rest, and also explained that the luggage has been placed in the room, and when the rest was almost done, she led us to the room.
Kinugawa Grand Hotel Dream Season is a large hotel. The lady will take us all the way through the corridor, explaining the public facilities and usage time, and finally come to the room. There is a list with my name on the door of the room. , It feels like a special VIP.With a smile, she asked us to sit in the Japanese-style living room first, and then she brewed hot matcha tea and delivered it to the front. Let us drink the hot tea while listening to her explain the usage time and precautions of the public pool in the hotel, and take it. An instruction sheet taught us how to wear yukatas, and the sincere hospitality service makes people really like it!

◎ There are only 100 rooms in Kinugawa Grand Hotel Dream Season, which are divided into the following 5 types:
1. Royal Suite: 161.5㎡, about 49 pings
2. Garden view room: 46㎡, about 14 pings

This time I stayed in the third room type "Deluxe Suite", which includes a separate dressing table, bathroom space, toilet, a Western-style single twin room, and a Japanese-style living room, small balcony area, etc. Compared to the previous nights Living in a business hotel in downtown Tokyo, the ultra-small space that cannot be turned around is so spacious that we are all moved to tears.Not only can you flatten your suitcase and take out your belongings, but you can also lie down, sit, and lie comfortably in this luxurious suite. It is worth spending more money in a better and more comfortable hotel! (Make a fist~)
In addition, I think this hotel is quite intimate. In addition to providing bath products, there are also men-only accessories, as well as lotions, lotions, and cleansing mousses that girls need to use. They are all products of the well-known Japanese brand Kose. It also looks good, there will be no dryness and discomfort.There are two servings of Japanese mochi in the living room, wrapped in delicious sesame flavours. I love the mochi shell Q bomb. Unfortunately, I only brought one suitcase this time, so I can’t buy more as souvenirs. I recommend everyone. You can eat and see when you check in.
The Japanese-style living room of this luxurious suite is quite large, and there is a small balcony-style table and chair area on the side. Whether you are looking at the distant mountain view or chatting with friends, it is very comfortable.If you are staying for four people, one can sleep two people in a Western-style room, and secondly, you can sleep two people in a Japanese-style living room with tables and chairs laid on futons. I think it is quite suitable for peers, friends, parent-child travel, and couples. If so, I would recommend staying in a Japanese-style suite.

The next day’s breakfast was eaten at the Japanese restaurant and Gana. It was the most hearty breakfast we felt. Not only did the kaiseki cuisine have layers of small dishes, exquisite dishes and fresh ingredients, it stimulated our early taste buds. The pleasing landscaping is also one of the main selling points.The morning hours are slightly cool, but after walking into the restaurant, the two females at the door with friendly smiles lead them to sit for a meal, making people feel the warmth of Japanese hot springs and traditional services.
When you come to a traditional Japanese-style hot spring hotel, you must experience bathing!Kinugawa Grand Hotel Dream Season’s hot springs are alkaline simple hot springs. They are colorless, transparent and mild in water quality. They can wash away dirt like soap, so they are called "beautiful skin hot springs." Smooth and delicate.At present, there are two baths for men and women and two open-air bathing pools in the hotel. The time-exchange system is adopted, that is, they will be exchanged at different times. You can enjoy the comfort of the "Guinu Castle" and "Guinu Dream" baths.
