Hakone Yumoto in Odawara

Hakone Yumoto is very famous for the basic point of sightseeing and various kind of resorts are scattered along with both Sukumo-River and Haya-River.

The location of the place is 85 minutes from Shinjuku and 110 minutes from Haneda Airport. The traffic convenience makes the distance shorter than imagination.

You can reach to Gora in short period of time passing through deep in the mountains and bridges if you take a ride on a cute red train of Hakone climbing rail way starting from Hakone Yumoto station.

Yosegi-tukuri wooden box is available at the souvenir shop and no anxiety of food because there are tea shops, snack shops and Nuudle like Soba shops.

There are over 40 Supa-inns at Hakone Yumoto, sufficient hospitality also in cooking, it's good to walk around there and another way is spending all day long in side of the inn regardless with time passes.

Historically famous and traditional place has some specific atmosphere existing natural circumstances, an artificial space in the city is good but staying in the natural environment will give you more.

Over 20 natural springs there and the place was founded in 0757 Nara period with 1,200 years history by Jyoteibou. Smallpox treatment was the initial purpose at that time.

The historic hot spring lasting as long as 1,500 years is one of the representative one all over our country. It will continue so long as it becomes exhausted.

As a matter for regret, recently, ceremonies and events held there are cancelled or shrunk because of SARS CoV-2 disaster. I hope the former liveliness would be recovered soon.
