Hello Hakone! part trois: Sea and Sky

During last week's Hakone trip, we were able to ride every mode of transport imaginable. 

On our first day, we rode the train from Shinjuku to Hakone, then took the cable car from Hakone Yumumoto to the Hakone Open Air Museum. Then, we took the bus from the city to the hotel. And that was just day 1.

Day 2 saw us taking more trips around the scenic environs using other means of transport.

First, we took the gondola as we went up, up, and up to the top of the mountain to buy the famous black eggs. (Or African-American eggs, if you want to be politically correct about it. Harhar.)


Then, we took the cruise around Lake Ashi. The weather was perfect for the boat ride around the clear lake. The water was stunning and looked so clean. If it were summer, I wouldn't mind taking a dip in the lake.


Imagine, we were able to accomplish all that in just 2 days.

That's definitely 2 days that were very, very, very well spent.
