Located about an hour's drive from Utsunomiya, this inn is surrounded by lush nature. You can enjoy the magnificent scenery of Nikko mountain range and Nasu from the observation deck. Kiryugawa Onsen is known as one of Japan's three great hot springs for beautiful skin, and is a good spring suitable for hot spring therapy. You can relax to your heart's content in the large, spacious bathtub and the rustic open-air bath. There is also a plan where you can enjoy Tochigi Wagyu beef, a brand of beef that Tochigi Prefecture is proud of, so you're sure to be soothed by the taste as well.

This is a small, Japanese-style inn that is typical of Japan. It has a hidden inn atmosphere, and the entire inn is surrounded by art. It is not avant-garde art that makes you feel uneasy, but art that will soothe the tired. The hot spring is small, but there is an open-air bath. In the winter, there are no horseflies, so it is very comfortable. Meals can be eaten in the room. Please enjoy the Japanese cuisine made with local ingredients along with local sake.
