This time last year we were seeing the cherry blossoms for the last time at Nakijin Castle Ruins. What a bittersweet thought.

After our clear morning back at the Chureito Pagoda we continued onto Hakone for 2 amazing things, the Yunessun Onsen and the Hakone Shrine. You've probably seen videos of this onsen on social media because of their unique hot spring baths. These include baths with wine, green tea, coffee, sake, and more!
