Japanese resort lets guests bathe in chocolate.

Yunessun, a resort located in Hakone, Japan, has launched a hot chocolate bath service for Valentine's Day this year. Guests wishing to soak in the delicious chocolate will have to be punctual, as Yunessun only opens this special bath twice a day – at 1 PM and 3 PM.

Beyond its aroma and novelty, hot chocolate also has beauty and health benefits. According to the resort, this special bath moisturizes the skin and improves blood circulation.

Toshiya Yamada, the organizer of the event, said he hopes many people will enjoy this unique experience.

Unlike traditional gender-separated bathhouses in Japan where everyone bathes naked, this resort requires guests to wear swimwear and experience a communal bath. Visitors can still visit the hot chocolate springs even after Valentine's Day, as the resort maintains this special service until March 17th, past White Valentine's Day.
