On the weekend, my family and I went to Kinugawa Onsen to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday!!!
Kinugawa Onsen (鬼怒å·æ¸©æ³‰) is a popular hot spring resort in the city of NikkÅ, Tochigi, Japan. It is located 2 hours by train from Tokyo. BTW, Bento on the train is nice! We always get it at a department store. Not Ekiben! hehe
Not many but there are some amusements such as Tobu World Square (æ±æ¦ãƒ¯ãƒ¼ãƒ«ãƒ‰ã‚¹ã‚¯ã‚¨ã‚¢) and Nikko Edomura (日光江戸æ‘) theme parks.
Here are some souvenirs from the places we went!!!
Tobu World Square (æ±æ¦ãƒ¯ãƒ¼ãƒ«ãƒ‰ã‚¹ã‚¯ã‚¨ã‚¢):
A theme park with more than 100 famous sites from around the world, in 1/25th of the original sizes. You can also enjoy nighttime illumination from 12/1-3/2. It is freezing cold though. haha
Tom and Maimu Colorful Print Cookies (カラフルプリントクッã‚ー)
Kinugawa Confectionery Castle (鬼怒å·ãŠè“åã®åŸŽ):
You can taste and buy all sorts of popular Wagashi (traditional Japanese confections) from Kinugawa. It is not a castle-like place, but they have great freshly made sweets!
