For the Ryuou Festival at Goryuo Shrine in Ryuokyo Canyon, a priest is invited from Nikko Toshogu Shrine to perform a Shinto ritual. Afterwards, in the evening, a grand festival is held in the hot spring towns of Kinugawa and Kawaji. At the main festival in Kinugawa Onsen, there is a procession of the magnificent Manto Mikoshi, or "Ten Thousand Lantern Mikoshi" (a mikoshi is a portable Shinto shrine), as well as the beautiful Onna-Taru Mikoshi, which is carried by women only. Additionally, there are folk entertainment performances, stalls， and for the grand finale, a brilliant fireworks display that lights up the night sky.  

These free foot baths are located at the plaza in front of Tobu Railway Kinugawa-onsen Station. The simple alkaline springs are said to relive conditions such as nerve pain and muscle soreness. The baths are often visited by tourists after a day of exploring or trekking in Kinugawa. They are also used as a meeting place by locals."

These foot baths are located in Nikko City， Tochigi Prefecture. These foot baths located on the right bank of the Kurogane Bridge that spans the Kinugawa River can be enjoyed while taking in the seasonal scenery of Kinugawa Gorge. A riverside promenade is located near the baths， allowing visitors to enjoy exploring the surrounding area while enjoying the views provided by Kurogane Bridge. Visitors are greeted at the entrance by a statue of Kinuko， the little sister of Kinuta， the local mascot of Kinugawa Onsen."
