HAKONE
Hakone is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. You may be able to view Mt Fuji if weather is good. ..we were unlucky :-(
If you have JR pass, you may get to Odawara Station. The train was extremely comfy.
Odawara Station. A large station with some nice biscuits and snacks offered in some shops.
Buy a 2-dayHakone pass at Odawara Station to explore Hakone. Cost JPY3900 per person if you buy at Odawara Station. You can use the pass to take a train to Hakone-Yumoto from there.
Hakone pass is an economical and convenient way to explore Hakone, it gives you unlimited usage on their cable cars, pirate ship, railway and buses. Arrive around 9am if you intend to do the round course within a day, most of the attractions will be closed by 4.30pm and they are not near to each other. You might need to take into accounts of traffic jam on certain roads too.
There are some shops, an tourist information counter near Hakone-Yumoto Station. I felt so romantic when strolling along the streets...
Nice scallops to go with wine or beer.
Wines & beers, with prices.
Earning morning, clear blue sky in Hakone
Hakone-machi, where we take the pirate ship, supposedly
Some shops at Hakone-Machi.
Beautiful Lake Ashi
We were very unlucky as the weather turned bad that day, the wind was too strong and unsafe for pirate ship and cable cars to operate. We have no choice but headed to Kyoto without exploring this beautiful place further. You can imagine how disappointed I was....
I have to go back again!
