A LUXURY private Onsen in Hakone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Most of this video was too loud to even consider putting music over! This is the sound of Japanese Summer.
Hakone is the perfect getaway from Tokyo, only about 1.5 hours on the train.
If you book a night a ryokan, (a traditional Japanese inn) in hot-spring areas, you can expect onsen (hot springs) and traditional kaiseki food, though many serve a buffet these days. There's a big range in prices, and this one is definitely more expensive in price, but everything is impeccable so I say it's worth it. What do you think?
WHERE I STAYED:
Kinnotake Tonosawa is my fav! (Not sponsored)
The detail, staff, food, views - all are excellent and I couldn't recommend more. Also it's adults only and fancy, great for a special occasion.
Check it out if you get the chance, and if not I hope you got some calming vibes from this video.

This looks so relaxing and beautiful. It is my dream to one day stay in a Ryokan (with private onsen). The kaiseki looks amazing.
Relaxed watching this upload. I’m sure the real thing was worth every penny. I feel the travel time helps to make it a special destination. The room attention to detail is outstanding. The stainless steel sink top and all those small things make a big difference. Enjoy!
So cozy and comfortable 😍
I like all your YT contents and I'm always proud of you whenever there is a new upload.
Sending you my best wishes.
Aww this is so kind of you, thank you 🥰
Very chill and meditational vlog. I hope one day I have chance to go to Hakone for this type of relaxing onsen. Love the sound of summer.
Very relaxing, hope your refreshed n fully charged again :).
Looks so calming, wish Im in an onsen now.
Erica is living like a queen out there in Hakone

I could get lost in watching the wind in those trees.
Wonderful to watch, Erica :) Miss Japan now...
Aw arigatou 💜 hope you’re genki!
Your own private onsen!!! And, for a minute, I thought you said 'mochi cheesecake', not 'mochi or cheesecake' Travel safe, thank you for taking us with you!
Lovely ❤
Thanks for sharing.
100/10
Thank you 🥰
That looked lovely and the food delicious. My only question is why on earth anyone would order 'western food' in a setting like that?
what
Basically because the traditional Japanese breakfast (rice, fish, miso soup, pickles and more) can be quite full on, a lot of tourists who aren’t breakfast people might prefer a lighter brekkie (bread and yogurt etc ) and so might avoid wasting food by choosing a western one..
@@EricaLion But also I don’t think anyone whose ever been to Japan a lot would ask that question. The question is problematic on other levels - like this person seems to want to dictate and even fetishize what traditional Japanese culture is supposed to be. I don’t know. The tone of the question bothered me. All the time I’ve spent in Japan - western food is just as much a part of Japanese cuisine as anything.
@@helpfulcommenter That is completely, 100% wrong and I'm baffled by you take on my comment. My point was the Japanese food looked delicious and I didn't see the point of travelling somewhere and eating the same old food.
@@EricaLion That's a fair point. Personally, if I ever make it to Japan I'd diving into the Japanese breakfast - though my caffeine addiction might be an issue. 😃
Sounds like an Illinois summer lol
👋🏻👍🏼🫰🏻
hey its been a while
Wait can I join?
