Hakone Ubako Onsen Shomeikan: A peaceful retreat from the world.

Embark on a journey to explore the intersection of literature and hot springs at Hakone Ubako Onsen Shomeikan. This is not just a physical relaxation, but also a spiritual baptism. It makes people slow down involuntarily and immerse themselves in this tranquility. Tracing back to more than 3,000 years ago, the natural miracle left after the eruption of the sacred mountain opened its chapter as a hot spring land 800 years ago. Shomeikan, this century-old shop, carries countless legends and stories. The most fascinating ones are the miracle of Kintaro curing eye diseases here, and Natsume Soseki drawing inspiration here and writing the literary masterpiece "I Am a Cat". 🌟 The reddish-brown rocks and the white smoke gushing from the depths of the earth are intertwined into a moving picture. The water of the hot spring seems to divide the sanctuary and the world, making every soak a dialogue with the life of the earth. Three inches of sunlight, just right through the window lattice, sprinkled on the surface of the hot spring, in the mottled light and shadow, is an indescribable tranquility and beauty. 📖 Every brick and tile of Shomeikan reveals the heaviness of history. Stepping into it, it seems to be able to feel the prosperity of the hot spring field in Natsume Soseki's pen, and the delicate observation and deep emotion of life seem to flow in the air. Here, time becomes soft, and every moment is worth savoring. Hakone Ubako Onsen Shomeikan is not only a hot spring resort, but also a thick history book, allowing people to taste the depth and temperature of culture while soaking in the hot spring.
