Everything is expensive here, even the locals who come here are treated as tourist. There is a circuit which you can take in Hakone, it will cover most parts of hakone by railway, cable car, ropeway, ship and bus ride for a 1 day pass. I had tried to start off early for this day but still its not good enough, because i end up with not enough time to visit some places.
Unfortunately when i was at Hakone, it was very cloudy, i didn't get to see Mt Fuji at all. but i was impress with the place, it was very countrylike and the air here is very cold and fresh. A must place to visit definately.
First destination- Gora Park, it was a very long way up to Gora park, the path leading up is soooo steep.....Japanese old ladies and man really amazed me, they are super strong in climbing staircases and steep pathways. I have so many "O-ba-san" walking pass me. :O
This tree is everywhere in Gora Park, its very beautifulInside the ropeway
This place is call Owakudani - the area around a crater created in the last eruption of Mount Hakone 3000 years ago. Sulfurous fumes, hot springs and hot rivers can be experienced on a walk around the area. Eggs, boiled in the naturally hot waters, are said to prolong one's life by seven years . you have to climb all the way up to see the sulpur production. There's eggs boiled in sulpur. taste like ordinary eggs. but its all black.
Last section of the circuit, taking the Pirates Ferry Ship across the Ashi Lake, its beautiful!!!
Lake Ashi (Japanese: Ashinoko) was formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone after the volcano's last eruption 3000 years ago. Today, the lake with Mount Fuji in the background is the symbol of Hakone.
tingy having a good time. he's not afriad of the captain!!
