About this ryokan

♨️A Japanese-Western 'villa in the valley' overlooking the Kinugawa gorge

Tochigi · Kinugawa Kanaya Hotel

John Kanaya's villa in the valley

🏛️Opened in 1978 under the direction of John Kanaya (Senji Kanaya), grandson of the founder of Nikko Kanaya Hotel, often called Japan's oldest resort hotel.
🤝Its philosophy, 'Wakei Yosan', blends East and West, tradition and modernity across spaces, service and cuisine.
🌲40 rooms face the Kinugawa gorge, with antique collections and sculptured glass placed throughout the building.

Two hot spring baths

♨️Kinugawa Onsen, discovered in 1691, is a clear, gentle alkaline simple spring said to help neuralgia, sprains, muscle and joint pain.
🌳'Kodai Hinoki no Yu' has an indoor bath of roughly 2,000-year-old cypress, a white granite open-air bath and a European paulownia sauna.
🍃'Shiki no Yu', facing the gorge, has a marble indoor bath, two white granite monolith open-air baths, a mist sauna and a gazebo; men and women swap by time slot.

Private onsen in your room

🛁Five of the seven room types have a private bath fed by the hot spring.
🪨Rooms with a Towada-stone open-air bath have terraces 1.5 times the size of standard rooms.
🏞️Rooms with a marble or cypress view bath let you soak indoors while gazing at the gorge as if outdoors.

Rooms framing the gorge

🪟Every room has pillarless floor-to-ceiling glass and a wooden deck terrace overlooking the Kinugawa gorge through the seasons.
🛏️The Standard Japanese-Western Room (66㎡) has a 12-tatami main room, an engawa sitting area and two semi-double beds, sleeping up to four.
👑The top (5th) floor holds the one-of-a-kind 132㎡ John Kanaya Suite; guests can choose from three types of pillows.

Kanaya-style kaiseki and teppanyaki

🍽️Dinner is either Kanaya-style kaiseki at Dining JOHN KANAYA or a teppanyaki-centered course at Teppan Zensho Kanaya.
🥢Kaiseki is the base, with Western touches and small, varied plates of seasonal local ingredients.
🍰After dinner a sweets wagon with the hotel's own chocolates comes to the lounge; in-room dining and children's meals are also available.

Lounge, cigar salon and facilities

☕The lounge, with a fireplace and gorge-side terrace seats, serves complimentary coffee, tea and soft drinks (8:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m.).
