Yunessun Hot Springs Amusement Park & Spa Resort - Hakone - Things To Do Reviews

There is no shortage of wacky and wonderful experiences in
Japan. Yunessun is an aquatic theme park in Hakone, close to Mount Fuji.  There is a multitude of traditional onsen
hot baths, pools, restaurants, shops and salons here to guarantee a whole day’s
excitement. I chose to spend time in the section where swimwear is required and
headed straight for the outdoor pools filled with unusual liquids: coffee
(to assist fatigued skin), red wine (Cleopatra allegedly bathed in it),
green tea (to enhance the immune system) and Japanese sake rice wine (they say
it increases the skin’s beauty, but I think it’s just for fun). Clearly reading
my thoughts, a sign states in Japanese and English, “Do
not drink”.

There are
also a number of indoor baths and pools with different themes. I floated in the
Dead Sea Spa and relaxed in the Ancient Roman Bath. I absentmindedly joined a
queue for a pool filled with tiny fish. Suddenly, a group of us were instructed
to sit on the edge of the pool and dip our feet in. The tiny fish swarmed
around my toes and began to nibble at the dead skin. It was a little unnerving,
but much more fun than a pumice stone.
