Kinugawa Onsen Ryokan Wakatake no Sho
Tochigi Prefecture／Kinugawa OnsenYour ultimate moment of relaxation by the Kinugawa River awaits here.
Nestled in the serene backwoods of Kinugawa Onsen, this property features 24 rooms. Passing through the Nagayamon gate, guests are greeted by the refreshing scent of young bamboo and the gentle rustling of bamboo leaves swaying in the breeze. Enjoy Kaiseki cuisine prepared with high-quality seasonal ingredients and relax in the onsen while listening to the sound of the river. From your room, you can admire the beautiful scenery created by the majestic nature of the Kinugawa River. Savor the tranquil flow of relaxing time to your heart's content.
The entire property—including the Rooms and Onsen—was clean and stylish. The food was delicious, and it was a place where we could truly relax. The lobby also has a great view, making it perfect for unwinding. The Onsen in particular was clean and refreshing, with a view of the Kinugawa River flowing in front of it. They also prepared a kids’ meal that children will enjoy. Adults will be satisfied as well—the portions are generous, the flavors are excellent, and you’ll leave feeling full. We would definitely like to stay again.
Kのすけたろう 7/30/2026Because it is a little away from the Kinugawa Onsen area, it was very quiet, and the view of the Kinugawa River from the Room was wonderful. The dinner was exceptionally delicious. It was the best meal I have had at any Accommodation in the past few years. It made for a very fulfilling solo trip combining sightseeing in Nikko with Kinugawa Onsen.

Introduction of the Accommodation
Except for one Room with a Japanese garden, all other Rooms have windows offering views of the changing seasons. In front, there are lush mountains and dragonflies flying in the sky, and below, the Kinugawa River flows vigorously through rugged rocks. Please fully enjoy the Kinugawa River view that changes with the seasons and time.
We welcome our guests at the charming Nagaya Gate. During the day, the contrast of the blue sky and green bamboo creates a beautiful scene, while at night, the illuminated Nagaya Gate becomes enchanting.
The warm lobby lounge, characterized by its high ceilings and large windows, exudes a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy your time in this soothing space, whether admiring the small courtyard with bamboo and vibrant koi swimming gracefully in the pond or reading books in the library corner.
At the restaurant with a nostalgic atmosphere featuring a well and stove modeled after a traditional kitchen, we offer private Rooms. Enjoy a private space without concern for your surroundings, relax, and take your time.
