At Hakone Yunohana Prince Hotel, a limited number of “Plans with a Yubatake tour that parents and children can learn about the mechanism of hot springs” will be on sale with the theme of children’s independent studies.
This plan is a nature experience-type accommodation plan where the staff will guide you through the process of building a hot spring in the Yubatake area, which you cannot normally enter.
The staff will explain how to make a hot spring while looking at the steam wells and yubatake that are not open to the public.
The “Yunohanazawa Onsen” built here is located on the eastern slope of Mt. Komagatake at an altitude of about 950m above sea level, and is the highest among the 17 hot springs in Hakone.
Milky white Nigori-yu, which is rare even in Hakone, has a sweating effect and is popular as a hot water for beautiful skin that is difficult to cool.
It is a “steam hot spring” that creates a hot spring at 60 ° C by multiplying 130 ° C steam ejected from the bottom of the hole 300m with swamp water.
The steam of the hot springs you see up close is impressive! This is a recommended experience for your own summer vacation independent study.
You can enjoy “Yunohana Time” together with your family trip as an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of hot springs.
