Hidden Hakone – A New Onsen Adventure Begins!
Hello everyone. I’m Kyle Carr, the Onsen guy. And today we are exploring an Onsen resort town that’s so famous you’ve probably already heard about it. Today we’re in Hakone. Hakon. It’s known for its stunning views, rich history, and amazing baths. But lately, it’s been crowded, especially with the recent surge in foreign tourists. Feeling the over tourism here. Japan’s facing a real over tourism issue and places like Hakune are feeling the strain. But don’t worry, I’m here to show you how to beat the crowds and find the hidden onsen spots that most visitors miss. Keep soaking. [Music]
