Tochigi Nasu-gun Nasumachi Ashino 1461

During the Edo period, this hot spring district was located in the Basin between the mountainside hills of Ashino-juku, a post station town situated along the Ohshu Highway, and at that time it operated much like a modern-day health spa. The district has two private source springs, both simple alkaline hot springs, and their waters are said to treat a variety of ailments, including muscle soreness and nerve pain in addition to aiding recovery from fatigue. The area's two medicinal herb baths are particularly renowned. The Nagi no Yu is for diseases which are caught from some other source outside the body, while the Nabi no Yu is for inherent diseases; the waters of the Nagi no Yu are particularly harsh, and bathers will begin experience pain across their skin after a five minute dip in the tub. Bathers are recommended to take two to three five minute dips with small breaks in between. The district's medicinal mist sauna is also popular, and its essential oils, when absorbed by the mucous membranes of the nose, act particularly effectively on the throat to suppress coughing.

Tochigi Nikko-shi

"A steam locomotive running from Shimo-Imaichi Station to Kinugawa Onsen Station on the Tobu Railway. It traverses the 12.4-kilometer route in about 35 minutes. The C11-207 is a steam engine built by Hitachi's Kasado factory in 1941. It's called ""Kani-me"" because the two headlights in the front are thought to look just like a crab's eyes (such trains usually have one headlight). Though it was scrapped for a time after that, it was brought back into service in foggy Hokkaido starting in 2000. The rooms resemble as closely as possible the time when they were newly made and have a nostalgic feel of the Showa period. You can also see the railway turntables that were essential for steam engines at Shimo-Imaichi Station yard and the square in front of Kinugawa Onsen Station."
