I had a great experience on the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise. The views of Lake Ashi and Mount Fuji were breathtaking, and the cruise itself was very relaxing. The ship was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were polite and helpful. I enjoyed the option to sit inside or outside, depending on the weather.
The only downside was that the commentary on board was limited, so it would have been nice to have more information about the sights we were passing. Overall, it’s a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Hakone, especially on a clear day.
Would definitely recommend this cruise for anyone visiting Hakone!
Experience the Sea Breeze and Sunshine on the Shonan Coast!
Upon arriving in Kamakura, you can first head to Shichirigahama to feel the sea breeze on your face and enjoy the beautiful ocean view. Take a stroll on the beach, soak up the sun, or rent a bicycle and ride along the coastline, feeling the breeze. Afterwards, you can visit Enoshima and explore Enoshima Shrine, experiencing the tranquility and serenity of the island. Finally, savor fresh seafood at a seaside restaurant, enjoying the charm of Kamakura. The entire trip takes about 2-3 hours to fully experience the allure of Kamakura's seaside.
Ryokan, the traditional Japanese hotel
The most traditional type of hotel in Japan you can experience 🇯🇵
Ryokan is a therapy that tries to extract the power of natural healing from the body itself, entering with the body and mind the thermal waters, the Onsen baths, nature and slowly the flow of time. It is a journey through time and the tradition of Japanese culture. Like a retreat, you reflect, connect, and free yourself.
A place of peace, to feel like you are in paradise 🍃🌿
Staying in a luxurious traditional ryokan is a memorable experience on any trip to Japan!

Heiwa No Tori is So Pretty!
#fallishere
The Heiwa No Tori Gates in Hakone Japan is just so pretty and beautiful. This is huge tori gate that looks like it's hanging over you when you're taking pictures under it and it stands so majestically at the bay area. Do note that there's a long queue of people waiting for their turns to snap a picture at this famous attraction. Wear thicker too, as it can get pretty windy and cold as the sea breeze blows by. Otherwise, it's such a pretty sight at Heiwa No Tori!
Dont miss this Pirate Sightseeing Cruise!

At 4 o'clock, the place was bright, and I could only sleep for more than 4 hours every day for two days. But the breakfast at this spa hotel is very rich. The Japanese made the breakfast very delicate. Compared to 3,000 yen for one person's breakfast, to be honest is not too expensive in Japan.
In Hakone, we lived in a hot spring hotel called "Hakone Tsui Song Garden". Although the hotel opened only for more than ten years, there is an old villa "Cui Song Garden" listed as a tangible cultural property in Japan. Named after the villa.
The old villa "Cui Song Yuan" was built by the old Mitsui Chronicle in 1925. It has been 94 years old and is well preserved. This quaint old house is also very good and very suitable. Taking a portrait, the blue and daytime evening shots are very nice~
The Hakone two-day pass that I bought in Shinjuku yesterday can take us to Odawara Station and then change the mountain train from Odawara to Hakone. Tokyo is sunny and has been sitting on the tram for a long time.
When I arrived at Odawara Station, I found that the sky was overcast. I can get a very complete Hakone travel brochure in Odawara, from the map to the introduction of each attraction, accommodation recommendations, and even feel a lot in the country. The Raiders are in vain~~ I feel the convenience of Japans travel. From Odawara, you can take the red train to Hakone. With the Hakone Pass, you can take the transportation at Hakone freely, so I can get off the car and take a photo~
I got off the car in Hakone and saw the river open. A tree cherry blossom ~ water green fence and my skirt is very good.
Its already cold when I arrived in Hakone. From here on, I saw various beautifully designed souvenirs from Hakone, both in terms of packaging and materials.
We took the bus to Taoyuan Station and pinched the most important Hakone ticket.
The lake near Lake Ashi is very cold, almost wind and rain. We found a restaurant by the lake cold and hungry. We watched the pirate ship drive open. The lake was very windy. As a person who once fainted the ship, I can imagine that the people in the pirate ship are not good, or sit and drink tea. More happy~
When I came to Japan for the last time, I couldnt squeeze out two days to go to Hakone Hot Springs. This time I chose this silver-branded hotel in Hakone, Yoshichi Hotel, which has a returning Japanese garden, my own hot spring source, with a maximum of 720 liters per minute. The amount of springs is a major feature of Jichi. Large baths, garden-like open-air baths, and spacious family baths are all 100% of their own hot springs. Just after the hot springs came back, the water temperature was very comfortable, but unfortunately I couldnt make it for a while, I would enjoy it again tomorrow morning.
As one of the most famous hot spring resorts in Japan, Hakone's hotels are not too small, and some natural scenery is very good, but after all, it is popular, the hotel price is not low, it is very popular, but this Tanma cool canopy Irori Guest House Tenmaku has not been open for a long time, so it is often possible to look out and recommend it to everyone. The
enclosed living room is the style of traditional Japanese-style dwellings. It is quite interesting to have dinner with the guests of Tiannan Haibei. Its very interesting (but really want to spit the Chinese translation of the name of the store, what is the inland stove? ghost--). Moreover, their location is very good, just next to the engraving of the Mori Art Museum, and it is only ten minutes walk from Gora Station.
The most important advantage of living in a green travel type is that there are a lot of tourist consultations. There are not only various travel brochures, but also a very detailed introduction of the staff. In particular, there is a staff member who can speak Chinese and is very enthusiastic. Let me play the classic line even if I didn't do any homework.
Just book the relationship too late, only this super-mini room, and open the wall will soon touch the wall haha, it is a bit uncomfortable, or try to book the tatami room in advance.
Speaking of hot springs, the "hot spring" in Japan is worth a visit. Hakone is a famous "hot spring holy place" in Japan. It is a health resort. There are a large number of tourists from all over the world coming here to feel the gentle township. Gentle.
As early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, it used to be a smoky spurt, and after a baptism of time, it became surrounded by green trees, and the landscape of birds and flowers was very charming. The number of tourists here is very large all year round, so Hakone is also known as the "most hot park". Japanese locals like to come to Hakone Hot Springs to soothe their tired body and mind. Here, people can feel the relaxation and pleasure.
Hakone has a slogan that lasts for a hundred years: "We are the streets of the township." If Tokyo represents the hustle and bustle of the modern metropolis, then the gorgeous turn is the deviant of the noisy life. Hakone has many fascinating hot springs, making it a "gentle town" and a beautiful landscape like landscape painting.
Japan is a place worth visiting all year round. There are beautiful natural scenery, and there are places like Otaru that are full of style and style, so that every traveler hangs around, leaving a few sheets of kimono here. There is always a sense of disobedience that cannot be integrated into the image. The
kimono is usually expensive and bulky. It seems that it is a bit worthwhile to buy a stuffed suitcase to go to Japan. Of course, it would make sense to see a nice kimono on the way to buy it as a collection.
If it is summer, there is no kimono experience store in the place to go, it is recommended to buy a bathrobe. Bathrobes are more fancy and usually cheaper. You can buy one for about 100 yuan, which is light and thin. Usually put in the closet does not occupy a lot of places, easy to wear, you can dress properly, you can buy one, carry it in the day to match the needs of the scenery.
The reason I came to Hakone was probably to fulfill a wish for a visit. I took a mountain train to see the hydrangea that Hakone has not completely withered. As a result, I found that foreign tourists really dont want it. The pirate ship tour is a special item. Originally, I am looking forward to seeing Mount Fuji on the lake. The result of "Thirty-six Scenes of Fuyue" is not beautiful, and once again missed the opportunity to pay tribute to Katsushika Hokusai~
Japan is always delighted to hide in the small garden at the doorstep. The one I photographed should be the last purple flower of Hakone. In addition, it is almost faded.
