Motoyu Morinoyu, a genuine day-trip hot spring facility at Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary on January 1, 2026 (Location: 1297 Ninotaira, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture; Manager: Keisuke Fujishi; hereinafter referred to as "Morinoyu"), will hold a special collaboration event "Herbal Bath Cures at Morinoyu" with Kenbi Yakuto Co., Ltd. (Location: 2-5-8 Kikujyu, Minami-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; President: Munehiro Matsuda; hereinafter referred to as "Kenbi Yakuto"). This event will be held for a limited time starting from Saturday, July 18, 2026.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, this summer is expected to be warmer than average nationwide, following last year. To help people cope with the sweltering heat, Japan has long cherished various "refreshing" summer traditions like somen noodles and ramune soda. Therefore, Morinoyu aims to provide a refreshing experience with "refreshing" hot springs using medicinal herbs, especially during the hot summer. For this reason, Morinoyu is partnering with Kenbi Yakuto for the second consecutive year to offer "Herbal Bath Cures at Morinoyu" again this year.

This year's "Herbal Bath Cures at Morinoyu" will feature a pure herbal medicinal bath using "Kenbi Yakuto Sou (けんびやくとう・そう)," a refreshing medicinal herb that is gentle on the skin, fragrant, and offers relaxation benefits. This pure herbal medicinal bath is a blend of eight types of chopped medicinal herbs, including licorice (甘草 - kanzo), mint (薄荷 - hakka), and dried tangerine peel (陳皮 - chinpi). The rich extract spreads through the water, enhancing the warming effect, warming the body from the core, promoting blood circulation, and providing a rich aroma that is expected to relieve both physical and mental fatigue. Furthermore, Morinoyu's spring quality, "sodium-chloride spring," has been known as a beauty bath since ancient times, and in addition to the medicinal benefits, it is also expected to provide moisturizing and skin-beautifying effects.

This summer, immerse yourself in the blend of medicinal herbs and natural hot springs at Morinoyu for a refreshing and relaxing time that will help you beat the heat.
