Thoughts on joining the Yosebito Project Hakone has historically been known as the most challenging part of the Tokaido Way. We are grateful to be part of this project and support it with a welcoming heart while treasuring the traditional inn culture preserved for generations.
About our water This water comes from four wells about 100m below the ground’s surface, just before reaching Lake Ashi, where rainfall from Mt.Komagatake on Hakone’s inner ring mountains seeps into the ground and passes through many layers of strata. The water is purified with chlorine. The water from the wells is blended with the water source of Hakone Shrine, which is known to watch over the safety of travelers. Not only does it taste delicious, but it also offers a comforting feeling while you rest at this historical place on the Tokaido Way. The water is classified as soft at 37 mg/ℓ, and it is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.6.
