[Spot Introduction]

• The first stop is Kinu Tateiwa Suspension Bridge, one of the most spectacular spots in Kinugawa Onsen. Kinu Tateiwa Suspension Bridge is about 140m long and 38m above the river, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful nature of the four seasons. For example, in autumn you can see autumn leaves, and in winter, if you time it right, you can see snowy scenery, so you can experience different charms every time you visit. There is also a slight thrill when crossing the bridge, which especially tickles your sense of adventure. At the observation space on the bridge, the guide will take commemorative photos with the spectacular view in the background. *After crossing the bridge, there is a promenade up to the Tateiwa Observatory, and we can guide you there upon request.
  
• Source "Otaki no Yu"
  This is the only spot where you can easily come into contact with the source of Kinugawa Onsen, and it is said to be one of the eight hot spring sources excavated by a man named Sakurada Jingoro around 1927.
  
• Fureai BridgeThe unique design of Fureai Bridge was designed as a Vierendeel bridge, and features beautiful arches and decorations inspired by Taisho Romanesque. In addition, the golden club of the "demon", the symbol of Kinugawa Onsen, is designed into the viewing platform and lighting. The stairs on the left bank are decorated with staircase art of Kinugawa Onsen's mascot "Kinuta", which is about 45 meters high. It is a popular spot for taking commemorative photos.
  This is a pedestrian-only bridge located a 10-minute walk from Kinugawa Onsen Station.
  
• Kinuko no Yu (foot bath)
  Kinuko no Yu was established in September 2008 and is a foot bath with a spectacular view of the hot spring town and the clear waters of the Kinugawa River. It is located on the left bank of Kurogane Bridge in the center of Kinugawa Onsen, and is popular as a spot where you can drop in easily. It is also the only place where you can see the statue of Kinuko, the younger sister of Kinuta, the symbolic character of Kinugawa Onsen, welcoming all visitors.
  If participants wish, they can also experience a foot bath on the tour.
  
• Local sake tasting experience You can compare three representative local sakes from Nikko's breweries, Watanabe Sahei Shoten and Katayama Sake Brewery.
  Watanabe Sahei Shoten has two items in its lineup: Junmai sake Oniwarai and Junmai ginjo Nikko Homare, while Katayama Sake Brewery has the raw sake Kashiwamori.
  While chatting with the staff, you can experience the fun of finding your favorite local sake. For those who don't like alcohol, we also have sweet sake and local cider available.
