Kinugawa (鬼怒川)
In Japanese languages,
Ki (鬼) means demon;
Nu (怒) means being angry;
gawa (川) means river.
Literally,
a river of demon getting angry.
In fact, heavy rains in this area always cause a lot of disasters;
the phenomenon is like an angry demon;
therefore, it is so named.
Let us show you a few of the sightseeing spots here!
Attractions in Kinugawa
① Kinugawa Onsen
It is said the Kinugawa Onsen is popular for treatment of burns.
Originally, in Edo Period, the beginning of the waterfall started from the west side, then the east side followed.
The increase of the gush of hot springs led to the establishment of many of the Onsen Ryokan
(Japanese-styled Hot Springs Hotel)
