Spending Summer at Japan’s Hot Spring Theme Park
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! Many people have the idea that going to a hot spring in the summer just sounds awful, but the baths at YUNESSUN make even a hot summer day enjoyable. 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!
*If you forget to bring your swimsuit and towel, YUNESSUN also has a loan service, so don't worry!

Many of YUNESSUN's hot spring baths are set being their "regular" baths like the red wine bath, sake bath, and green tea bath. However, YUNESSUN also features special baths that change monthly/seasonally!

Hakone Kowakien YUNESSUN Outside Water Fun!
Looking for a more water park for of place? No problem!
Hakone is not only a place of Japanese hot springs, it's also full of mountains, wildlife, great lakes, and grass fields. So giving you full access to the plant and animal life of Hakone. So at the outside pool area of YUNESSUN, there is an open-air bath that is 40 meters long, which is perfect for relaxing in the hot springs while looking out at the beautiful Hakone nature!♨🌳
Hot Springs Theme Park
Probably our favorite part of YUNESSUN is the water park like hot springs area that has rides and attractions for everyone!! If you've read a YUNESSUN article from JAPANKURU before, you'll know that YUNESSUN has a shallow water level in the indoor pool, and there are outdoor attractions like an impressive water slide, Rodeo Mountain (ロデオマウンテン), natural waterfall Dragon's Waterfront (龍の水辺), and a cool hot springs jungle gym, Bozappi's Jungle Gym (ボザッピィのジャングルジム)!!!

Not only can you get your regular drinks and snacks here like you could at other cafes, but there is also a foot bath on their outdoor wooden deck that uses the natural hot springs from Naraya Ryokan (奈良屋旅館).
