Hakone, a travel diary of unexpected encounters!

Without a guide or a map, I was like a dandelion seed, drifting in the wind on a bus. 🌱 Hakone may be small, but it is full of endless scenic routes. Every turn is a delightful surprise! 🌸 Hakone Wetland Botanical Garden, a natural palette. 🎨 Here, the flowers are in full bloom, each telling its own story. The elderly, every flower in the lens is a treasure in their eyes. Their focus and passion are admirable. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🌹 Gora Park, a small but exquisite private secret garden. The spray of the fountain and the fragrance of the roses intertwine. Every rose has its color, every drop of water has its story. Here, every inch of land exudes a romantic atmosphere. 🌊 Lake Ashi, a tranquil bay in my heart. Away from the hustle and bustle of Sengokuhara, I was alone, and time seemed to freeze on the bus. By the lake, I felt like the only audience, enjoying the tranquility. The moored pirate ship, although it was off duty, its silhouette became the most special scenery on the lake. Every trip is a conversation with oneself. In Hakone, I found inner peace. 🌟
