Hotel Sunshine Kinugawa

We stayed one night in a top-floor Room with an open-air bath. The open-air bath had a great view and was wonderful. For dinner, we enjoyed Japanese cuisine in a semi-private dining area. It was quiet, we could eat as a family, and everything was delicious. When we stay in Tochigi again, we would like to stay here again. This is a highly recommended Hotel.

Overall, it was a very comfortable stay and one I would gladly repeat. The in-house layout is well designed; although the building is tall, it isn’t very wide, so getting around was easy and required little effort. Unlike many large Onsen Hotels where it can be a long walk from your Room to the baths or dining area, there was no such stress here. Being able to move smoothly mainly by elevator was a big plus. I was also very satisfied with the food. The variety and seasoning were well balanced, and everything was high quality—I ended up going back for seconds more than once. If I had one request, it would be for a more fully equipped game corner. It felt a bit retro, and adding more machines and options would make evenings even more enjoyable for families and groups of friends. Right in front of the Hotel are the beautiful Kinugawa gorge views and a suspension bridge, so the surrounding location and scenery were outstanding as well. It was an easy place to relax with high overall satisfaction, and I’d definitely like to stay again.
