The other day I was finally able to visit the popular onsen town, Hakone! I'm surprised I haven't visited sooner- I live in an area where Hakone is easily accessible, but I just never got around to visiting until now. I went with my good friend and the Ryokan I stayed at was called "Motoyu Ryokan" located in Iiyama, Atsugi.

On their website the onsen boast's that their hot spring water is pH.11 and top of the country. It is known as Japan's top class "beautiful hot water". 

I can definitely admit that the water felt amazing and my skin felt so smooth and soft. 

For dinner we were served dinner in our room. We had many different and delicious side dishes but the main entree was the boar meat hot pot. I don't recall ever having boar meat before. The taste was flavorful and rich- I'm hoping I get the opportunity to eat it again!

Now onto the photos!
