When I went to Kinugawa Onsen, I went to Kinuta no Yu, a free foot bath in front of the station!!! The name comes from the statue of Kinuta, the character of Kinugawa Onsen, and it is a popular tourist spot because it is located in front of the station!!! I went in on a weekday evening, and there were always 2-3 people in it, which shows how popular it is👀 Since it is in front of the station, it seems that many people go in while waiting for the train~ I also soothed my tired feet while waiting for the Spacia on the way home🤤 The temperature was around 40-41 degrees, which was just the right temperature for a comfortable bath. ⚠️There are no towels to rent, so be sure to remember to wait, so be careful! 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ♨️Spring quality and benefits 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 Spring quality: alkaline simple hot spring Benefits: muscle pain, neuralgia, etc. ---- 📍Access 👣Right in front of Kinugawa Onsen Station ♨️Fee Free 🕰️Opening hours 9:00-18:00 *May vary depending on the season. ---- #0 yen trip #Kinuta no Yu #foot bath #Kinugawa Onsen #hot spring #Tochigi sightseeing

After passing through the entrance, it's a special experience to climb up the slope car in the middle of nature 😳✨ The lush courtyard on the hill is charming and the extraordinary space was wonderful...! The lounge was lined with colorful traditional Mashiko ware plates I couldn't help but want to buy some to take home 😌 You can enjoy strawberries and Japanese sweets from Tochigi in your room The "Strawberry Late-Night Snack" 🍓 is limited to two sets per day so you must make a reservation early ✍️ The courtyard is very spacious and it feels good to take a walk in the morning or after a bath! It was a relaxing inn where you can enjoy the beautiful seasons from the terrace of your room 😌♨️ #KaiKinugawa #HoshinoResorts #Kai #hoshinoresort #TochigiTourism #TochigiTrip #KinugawaOnsen #KinugawaOnsenHotel #HotelLifeOL #WantToConnectWithHotelLovers #GirlsTrip #AnniversaryTrip #HotSpringTrip #tripAccommodationReport

When talking about springtime Kanto sightseeing spots, Ashikaga Flower Park is surely what springs to mind for many! If you're going all the way to Ashikaga, why not check out some nearby spots? My recommendation is Ashikaga School and Hōō-ji Temple, located at Ashikaga Station, the station next to Ashikaga Flower Park Station! Ashikaga School, said to be the oldest school in Japan, and Hōō-ji Temple, which has a history dating back to the Kamakura period. Both are tranquil tourist spots where you can feel the history and culture of Ashikaga City. At Ashikaga School, there is a shoin study and garden where warlords are said to have come to study, and time flows quietly. The documents and buildings that convey the spirit of Confucianism are well worth seeing. The neighboring Hōō-ji Temple is a prestigious temple built on the site of the Ashikaga clan's residence, and is impressive for its appearance surrounded by the national treasure main hall, a large ginkgo tree, and a moat. Although it is a tourist spot, the calm atmosphere, which feels like an extension of everyday life, will soothe your mind. Both are within walking distance, so it's great to take a leisurely stroll around the city. 🚃 Access ・Ashikaga School: About 10 minutes on foot from JR Ryomo Line "Ashikaga Station" ・Bannaji Temple: About 3 minutes on foot from Ashikaga School ・Ashikaga School: Admission fee 420 yen (adults) ・Bannaji Temple: Free to visit (separate fee for special openings such as the main hall) ・Time required: Each takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour to visit There are also many stylish cafes and Japanese sweets shops in Ashikaga City nearby, making it perfect for a stroll! ☕️ Please consider these as your Golden Week outing destinations☺️ #TochigiTourism #DomesticTravel #AshikagaSchool #BannajiTempleTour

Speaking of spring in Tochigi, Ashikaga Flower Park is the place to go! The beautiful wisteria trellis, recognized worldwide, looks like purple curtains falling from the sky. A wide variety of wisteria, including large wisteria, double wisteria, white wisteria, and yellow ikibana wisteria, bloom in full glory, overwhelming the viewer. The wisteria is refreshing and elegant in the daytime sunlight, and transforms into a fantastic and romantic atmosphere when lit up at night. It's truly a flower theme park that you can enjoy all day long. The famous wisteria soft serve ice cream, which you often see on social media, is available right after entering from the main entrance, so I bought and ate it, but after that it was sold everywhere, so you may not need to rush to buy it at the main entrance...🍦 That's because if you buy it at the west entrance, you can take a great shot of the large wisteria and the soft serve ice cream (you can take a picture of the wisteria and the soft serve together)📷 So I recommend buying it at the west entrance! 🍦📷 Access🚃 About a 3-minute walk from Ashikaga Flower Park Station on the JR Ryomo Line. Easy access from the city center, about an hour and a half by train from Tokyo. The best time to see the wisteria is usually from mid-April to mid-May. It will be especially crowded during Golden Week, so it is recommended to go early in the morning on a weekday or at night when the lights are on. It's a must-visit spot for those who want to be soothed by the beauty of nature, as well as for taking great photos on social media. #DomesticTravel #TochigiTrip #AshikagaFlowerPark #TochigiTourism

It's a shame that it's only held on weekends, when there are a lot of people.
