Hakone Yunessun Hot Springs Resort

Monday morning we left our place wth the Palma family (our wonderful neighbors and friends in our tower; James, Maia, Josiah, and Auberon) and drove to Hakone.Our destination was a resort called Yunesson that has over 20 different soaking spas and pools filled with hot spring water from the mountain. It's about a 2 hr. drive west along the coast. We arrived at Yunesson around 10am. We checked in at the front desk, got our towels and bathrobes and headed to our locker rooms to change. We spent the rest of the day trying out the numerous spring fed hot tubs and pools. It was a perfect day for the spa- cold and rainy. We enjoyed all the warm soaks and tried almost every one. They had so many to choose from; coffee, red wine, green tea, Persian spice, sake, a water slide, a kids play pool,etc..The most unusual was the one that you just stick your feet in and lots of small bottom dwelling fish come and feast on the dead skin of your feet. It feels very strange but mostly tickling. As you can see from the pics they even have an entire naked spa area at the resort that we didn't venture into!
The boys had a blast and are still recovering from the fun! We had a good buffet for lunch and you just wear your bathrobe over your swimsuit when you're in the restaurant. The boys loved the chocolate fountain and dipped quite a few marshmallows into it!
We headed home around 4:30 pm and were very relaxed and happy!
We had such a great time and our glad our friends invited us along!
