Yunessun! A hot spring theme park near Hakone, Japan.
I misjudged the time it would take to get to this unique spa filled with a wild assortment of pools such as wine and coffee. After four arduous hours of travel on local trains (instead of the shinkansen which would have shaved off an hour), I made my way to this family favorite and spent a lovely couple of hours flitting from one pool area to the next. but it was really the traditional Japanese Onsen called a Mori no Yu that was the reason for my visit. It was the gorgeous area where only women were allowed to access. And yes, we were all naked. But what was so charming about the whole experience was the multi-generational aspect of it. There were young girls, teens, moms, and old ladies like me. It was relaxing and beautiful and possibly one of the best experiences I had on the entire trip.
Tips: plan to spend the night, stay at the hotel and really indulge your senses.
