HOW TO GET TO KINUGAWA ONSEN
The most straightforward way is to take the Tobu Nikko Line from Asakusa Station in Tokyo to Shimoimaichi Station, then transfer to the Tobu Rapid Line to reach Kinugawa Onsen. However, some trains, such as the Revaty Aizu, allow you to reach the onsen town without the need to transfer at all.
ADDITIONAL TIPS:
1. It is highly recommended to book a room with breakfast at Kinugawa Onsen. This is due to the limited number of restaurants and convenience stores in the area, particularly in the morning. Consequently, the hotel's breakfast is unarguably the best option available.
2. If you want an authentic ryokan experience, always book a dinner with your accommodation (if available). Dinner is a highlight of every stay in a ryokan, and the chef will always use the best local ingredients, especially if it is a kaiseki dining. Some ryokans may even offer a meal upgrade for guests to try top-tier delicacies made from rare, expensive ingredients.
Suppose you book a kaiseki dinner. It is crucial to arrive at your ryokan shortly before the scheduled dinner time. If you are too late, the staff may not serve you the meal, even if you have already paid for it.
3. As in other places in Japan, you need to book breakfast or dinner with the accommodation in advance. Walk-ins are not guaranteed. I recommend booking the room with breakfast and dinner beforehand.
4. Based on my experience, rooms with futons are not recommended for the elderly or people with mobility issues. Always book rooms with western beds for them.
5. Some rooms at the ryokans do not have private bathrooms. You will need to bath or shower at the public bathroom. This may not be convenient for some. Thus, always check carefully before booking to ensure that your desired room has a private bathroom.
