JAPANKURU: Japanese Hot Springs Theme Park at Hakone Kowakien YUNESSUN ♨ Going to a Japanese Natural Hot Springs During the Summer

Map source: Unique Japan Tours

Hakone, one of Japan's leading hot springs areas.

Hakone is close enough to Tokyo to where you can get there easily,

but far enough to where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

It's roughly a 2 hour drive,

located in Kanagawa Prefecture on a mountain region that borders Mt. Fuji.

Today, much of the area is an active volcanic zone where sulfurous fumes,

which explains why relaxing in Hakone's hot springs

and hot rivers are to die for!

Many foreigners want to experience a Japanese hot spring but the idea of being naked in public makes them uneasy.

Also, since it's summer vacation for many,

they are looking for a cool water park to hang out at!

Which is why this time,

JAPANKURU wants to introduce the one-of-a-kind Hakone hot springs

Hakone Kowakien YUNESSUN.

Here, you can wear a swimsuit to soak and play in Japan's natural hot springs based on many different themes and events!

Last year we went to YUNESSUN and had the time of our lives!

This summer,

Hakone Kowaken YUNESSUN has prepared a lot of new cool and limited areas which is why JAPANKURU immediately went to check them out and play!
