Kinugawa Park Hotels

Kinugawa Park Hotels spreads several accommodation wings through a wooded site, giving guests a wider choice of rooms and dining styles than a single-building ryokan. Its bath circuit is equally varied, using forms that feel deliberately playful rather than solemn.

One side combines an Edo-style bath, a houseboat-shaped tub and open-air bathing; the other pairs hinoki, barrel and open-air baths. The areas alternate by gender, and private baths or selected bath-equipped rooms add more secluded options. Free-flowing hot-spring water is available within the complex.

Meals follow the seasons and are served according to the chosen building and plan, with attention to presenting hot and cold dishes at the right moment. This property suits groups and families who enjoy bath variety and choice, with woodland atmosphere and imaginative tubs taking precedence over small-inn intimacy.
