Hakone Kowakien Yunessun (Location: 1297 Ninotaira, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa; General Manager: Keisuke Fujiishi) will feature a collaborative 'Barley Tea Bath' from June 5 (Friday) to September 30 (Wednesday), in cooperation with Nihon Seibaku Co., Ltd.
Background and Purpose
With the summer of 2026 expected to be exceptionally hot, Yunessun is expanding the duration of its annual 'Barley Tea Bath' event, featuring traditional Japanese summer barley tea.

Barley tea contains zinc and silicon, which are believed to have skin-beautifying effects, such as preventing blemishes and strengthening collagen.

Once or twice a day, a giant 10-liter kettle will be used to pour ice-cold barley tea into the bath, providing an aromatic and cooling experience unique to Yunessun.
