Hotsprings in Hakone

Hakone is in country-side Japan. It has lots of greens and lots of hotspring hotels. We went to a hotspring pool near Gora. The pool is right across from the hotel. It is a huge place with lots of bath pools inside. Some are in-door, some are outside. There are fragranted pools, tea-flavoured pools, sake flavoured pool, coffee flavoured pool, charcoal-bath pool, rock-bath pool, waterfall bath pool, etc. The ones I enjoyed the most are the traditional hot bath pools where one has to go naked :) They have woodern bucket type hot bath, the rock pools in the garden, huge woodern pools, etc. At the end, one get to sit in a little stall and shower. I bathed with soap and shampooed to rinsh off the chlorine smell. Excellent!
