Japan Day 4

We are leaving Tokyo! Yap that’s so soon, our next destination was Hakone and we will be staying there for a night!

Hakone is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, less than 100 kilometers from Tokyo. Famous for hot springs, outdoor activities, natural beauty and the view of nearby Mt. Fuji.

We booked a free and easy package from Sunrise Tours. Cost us ¥23,800 ($373.87), which includes bullet trains to and from Hakone and Tokyo and a night stay at The Prince Hakone. We can experience bullet trains for the first time! Giggle

Anyway, we are quite sure we will not revisit this place if we go Japan for travelling, because it’s quite a boring place as in nothing much there and hard to travel around if you do not have your own car. Activities and bus service ended early and this caused quite a few problems for us and further more, it seems like nothing went smooth for us on day 4! I will share more on it on later part of this post together with the photos.

Nevertheless, we did enjoyed ourselves. The mountainous place is wonderful, esp when we just travel there from the city. And being one that never experience snow before, it’s really so nice to be able to see snow on the floor. I even purposely go step on them just to feel how it is like to be walking on snow. And along the way to our hotel, we saw some houses with white snow roof too, it is so damm nice but unfortunately didn’t take any photos. But I have some videos Grin Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4
