Winter trip to Yunishigawa Onsen
Toshogu Shrine and Lake Chuzenji are two of the most well-known attractions in Nikko. But do you know that Yunishigawa is also an attraction with historical significance? You don’t have to travel all the way to the Tohoku region to experience Japan’s unique snow house culture. Yunishigawa Kama-kura Festival, or Yunishigawa Snow House Festival, takes place from January to early March every year and around 800 snow houses are lit up at night, creating a magnificent sight to enjoy. If you're in Tokyo, just hop on the Tobu Railway’s limited express Revaty and you’ll be in this winter won-derland in no time.

HOT SPRINGS IN JAPAN | AKEBI ONSEN IN NIKKO, JAPAN
After the amazing visit to the Tobu World Square and The Grand Palladium Maze in Kinugawa, Nikko, our trip was a complete success after a relaxing time at the Kinugawa Akebi Onsen.
We rented a small house with two open-air bathtubs with flowing hot springs. If you avoid public hot spring baths this place is perfect for you and the family. The place is located in the forest near the river.

Nikko, Japan | Things to do on your Tokyo Sidetrip to Nikko (Travel Guide)
Nikko is one of the more beautiful places we have visited in Japan. Famous for its heritage sites and breathtaking mountains, it is also known for the many onsens built around the hot springs that dot the area.
About a 2-hour train ride from Tokyo, Nikko is the perfect destination for travelers who want to see a more rural side of Japan.

First Things First
We stayed at the Tobu Hotel Lavant Tokyo for a day before heading to Nikko.
The nicest part was waking up to an unobstructed view of the Tokyo Skytree which was pretty awesome.
The breakfast buffet was nice, with choices between Western and Japanese.
Visit the Skytree
Since it was so near, we went to check out the Tokyo Skytree, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and tourist attractions. Reaching up to 634 metres (2,080 ft), the Skytree is the second tallest man-made structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa.
The tower is connected to Skytree Mall with shops and restaurants you can visit before heading up the tower.
There are two observatories, one at 350 m (1,150 ft) and the other at 450 m (1,480 ft). A glass covered skywalk, which gives visitors the most stunning view of Tokyo, encompasses a spiral walkway.
The best time to visit is right before sunset. You can watch the streets below come to life in a symphony of lights that is absolutely breathtaking.
Welcome to Nikko
The best way to get to Nikko is via train, which you can catch from Asakusa Station. The trip is around 2 hours.
If you want a bit of privacy, opt for a cabin. You can take in the rural scenery while making chitchat with your companions.
The Tobu Railway, which is the primary line in Nikko, stops at various destinations throughout the region.
Nikko is a rather large mountainous locality approximately 140 km north of Tokyo. Two large rivers pass directly through the city proper, and there are a number of falls and hot springs in the area.
Nikko is mostly known for its onsens that have been built around the various hot springs. Nature attractions and world heritage sites are also major draws for tourists.
The Japanese visit Nikko during holidays and weekends, especially during winter when the hot springs can be best enjoyed.
Toby World Square
When visiting Nikko, we recommend stopping by the Tobu World Square.
It’s a miniatures theme park with replications of various world landmarks and heritage sites. There is a close to ‘It’s a Small World After All’ feel about the park but without that dreaded theme song.
The miniatures are extremely detailed, and they look amazing! The trees are actual banzi’s that bring the installations to life.
There are a handful of restaurants at the park. We opted for the Japanese restaurant.
A delicious hot bowl of soba noodles to counter the chilling weather outside was the way to go plus a shot of hot sakê, of course.
Edo Wonderland
Probably the best part of our short stay in Nikko, Edo Wonderland is a breathing, living, Edo period village that gives guests the chance to experience life during the heyday of Shoguns and Samurai.
There are a number of activities and attractions to see, but the coolest thing is being able to rent Kimono’s to wear around the park. Prices vary depending on the class and style of the kimono, for instance, a Shogun’s Kimino will cost more than that of a Samurai or Commoner. The staff also address and respond to you based on your attire, which helps you immerse in the experience.
Me failing horribly at trying to play the Shamisen, a traditional Japanese 3-string instrument.
Kamakura Snow Festival
From December to March, Nikko receives snowfall. What takes place during this time of the year is a local festival known as the Yunishigawa Kamakura Festivial where many of the establishments use the freshly fallen snow to build Kamakura. This is a type of igloo or snow house where guests can hangout, take pictures and even enjoy local snacks.
Make sure you visit the festival during day time. The various shops and cafes are closed in the evening.
Time to Relax
Nikko is most famous for its mountainside onsens and spas. There are a number of hotels in the area which cater to visitors who come to Nikko to experience the hot springs during winter.
We checked in to Hana To Hana, one of the better known onsens in the area. The staff were all friendly; and the food, exceptional even by Japanese standards.
The rooms are traditional Japanese style. Ours had a fantastic view of the river from the window.
There are two onsens in the hotel—a stone one which, unfortunately, we were unable to shoot due to guest and hotel regulations and another smaller wood-style one (pictured above), which they were kind enough to let us take a picture of.
Breakfast and dinner are included with your stay at Hana To Hana which is a plus. To be honest, the Yakiniku style dinner was the best meal we’ve ever had in Japan.

Beautiful view going to Yunishigawa -Onsen Kamakura Snow House Festival
Snow aglow in Yunishigawa Japan
Each winter, the small onsen town of Yunishigawa, in Tochigi's Nikko area, transforms into a winter wonderland with hundreds of 'kamakura', or snow huts, on display. These range from the larger snow houses, which can be entered, to miniature illuminated versions on display at various locations around Yunishigawa Onsen.
The main event takes place at Heike no Sato (平家の里), an open-air museum in the style of a traditional village, with snow-covered thatched houses providing the perfect backdrop to the dozens of illuminated kamakura lining the paths. The larger kamakura can be entered, with many available for reservation to enjoy a special barbecue experience.
The second main location is held at a bridge vantage point down the road to the west, where visitors can admire hundreds of illuminated mini kamakura lining the Zawaguchi river bed. It's a mesmerising view and not to be missed – this site is illuminated everyday except Thursdays.
The rest of town itself also gets in on the action, with a variety of snowmen lining the streets, handmade by the local residents and businesses and other activities—including snow slides and snow shoeing—available throughout the day too.

[HD] 湯西川温泉かまくら祭/Kamakura-matsuri Festival in Yunishigawa-Onsen Hot Spring (Japan)
*English version is under construction
「死ぬまでに行きたい！世界の絶景」のひとつ、栃木県の湯西川温泉で毎年冬に開催される「かまくら祭り」。
ここは400年前、平家の落武者の子孫が発見した温泉地と言われています。
昼間は大きなかまくらの中でのバーベキューや雪遊び、郷土料理のばんだい汁を堪能。
そして日がくれると、ボランティアの手によって、毎日1500個ものロウソクが灯されます。
暗闇の中でゆらゆらと揺れるその灯火は、まるで命からがら辿り着いた落武者の魂かと思うほど、儚く、そして力強い光でした。
