Kinugawa Onsen was discovered in 1752 (Edo period) and became popular as a hot spring resort for feudal lords and priests on pilgrimages to Nikko. Later, in the Meiji era (1868-1912), the hot springs were opened to the general public, and Kinugawa Onsen developed into a hot springs resort that attracted many travelers.
