Hakone (June 12th - 13th)


Gora Sta. on Hakone Tozan Railroad.
From here we transfer to the cable car.

We couldn't decide where to go until this morning, and finally we decided to go to Hakone and as soon as we made reservation for Hakone Sengokuhara YH, we rushed to the station.
We got Hakone Free Pass of Odakyuu group, so we rode the cable car, ropeway, boat and bus many times. The YH has a hot spring bath with whitish water and we enjoyed once at night and once in the morning on each day.

It was a beutiful day.
The contrast of the blue sky and green montains was amazing!
