YUNESSUN is a hot springs theme park located in Hakone, the popular hot springs destination in Japan. The park is divided into two areas, the traditional hot springs baths at Mori no Yu and the Yunessun area for you to enjoy in your swimwear. The Yunessun area is further separated into 3 areas, each with their own unique baths for you to love.

The main attraction within the Mori no Yu area is the garden open air bath, offering sweeping views of Hakone’s breathtaking nature all around you. There’s even a collagen bath (ladies only) and a ceramic bath.

Throw on your swimsuit and prepare for some unique, out-of-the-box baths in the Yunessun area! For starters, there’s the pure red “wine bath”, the “coffee bath” made with Japan’s first drip coffee bath made by extracting the coffee grounds with onsen water at low temperatures. You are sure to have a time like none other here!

In the same Yunessun swimsuit area, there are baths where you can soak in all the rich Hakone nature around you. Some of the most popular are the scenic open-air baths and the larger than life “Rodeo Mountain” water slide, where you can go for a slide all year around thanks to its warm onsen waters. Just like the name suggests, the scenic bath features a breathtaking view over Sagami Bay.

    Hakone Kowakien YUNESSUN has a real resort atmosphere throughout the entire park. It’s not just a place to soak in hot springs—there are also all kinds of hot spring facilities to experience. It’s especially comfortable to visit in cold weather!

    After checking into the hotel this time, my favorite part was the hotel’s hot springs. Soaking in them was really comfortable! As I soaked in the warm water, my whole body gradually relaxed, and much of the fatigue from the trip faded away.

    Hakone is already a great place for hot springs, so if your itinerary is more relaxed, I highly recommend setting aside some time to enjoy a good soak and rest at the hotel, and savor Hakone’s hot spring experience〜

    If you visit in winter, you can soak for even longer.

    There are so many different baths here—wine, green tea, coffee, and even outdoor pools with slides, over thirty types in total! You can soak while enjoying beautiful views of the Hakone mountains.

    They don't provide towels, so you have to buy them separately. Except for Mori no Yu, the other areas are pretty average.
