After visiting the Hakone Little Prince Museum, it was already 3 pm, the sky suddenly rained heavily and blowing cold wind, driven by instinct to look around nearby if there is no shelter and rest place, happened to see this still on the lights Café riposo, so did not hesitate to step into this cafe. There are two fish tanks at the entrance of the cafe, with different brightly colored fish swimming inside, which is very eye-catching. The decoration inside the cafe is very simple, the space between tables is large, and the seats are very spacious, so it is very comfortable. Since my stomach was already drumming, I ordered the Japanese burger steak package and served with a cup of milk coffee. The package included salad, soup, bread and Japanese burger steak. Overall, the quality of the food is very high. The bread is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Japanese burger steak has a special taste. I don't remember the special ingredients inside, but it goes surprisingly well with the Japanese sauce on the side. Every bite can taste the richness of the meat juice. The milk coffee has a smooth and aromatic taste, and the ratio of coffee and milk is just right. It is after enjoying this meal that the body also slowly warms up and the fatigue gradually disappears, so the feeling of this meal is also very profound.

#2024wish There is a direct bus to reach the location. Once you arrive you will see huge field filled with suzuki grass. Be careful because the wind is quite strong in here. I recommend you to bring a scarf. Though I'm not so sure what it will be like in summer since I came on early autumn. You can also spot group of painters drawing the beautiful scenery here.

D1: Stay at the hotel - Senshiwara Mangosteen (Autumn Limited) - Taoyuantai - Motohakone (Water Torii, Mount Fuji) - Komatake (not included in the pass itinerary, you can see Mount Fuji from the top) D2: Oyu Valley - Taoyuantai - Back to Tokyo (Cable Car Half Day Tour) If you have spare energy you can add a museum in D2 We were satisfied with Mount Fuji and returned. 🏨 [About Accommodation] This time I stayed at [Fujiya], an old-fashioned hot spring hotel that the emperor said to have stayed in when he was a prince. Great value for money, but average stay experience. The hotel rooms are large (see the last 3), have a bed and can lay tatami mats, but the details are quite poor (such as the painting and power strips are crooked, many charging ports are broken), the hot spring is very comfortable. Most importantly, the location is great, less than 3 minutes walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station, very suitable for transit. There are many good hot spring hotels in Hakone, some with private hot springs with good cooking, some with particularly good service, you can choose according to your budget, this is not very recommended, better than value for money and location. 🍽️ [About Diet] If you don’t have a scheduled hotel meal, play a little later and come back to Onsen Street is basically closed, you can go and eat and see the izakaya, the atmosphere is very warm (see previous notes for details). The black eggs in Tai Chung Valley are quite tasty, the curry is very salty and I don't recommend it. Motohakone can go to a cafe and sit, which is very peaceful. [Mount Fuji Viewing Tips] There are several spots to shoot Mount Fuji, this time I went: 1. Go on the jr to Odakyu, encounter do not hesitate, shoot immediately, because it disappears quickly. 2. Motohakone Pier, this time I was blocked by clouds and could not be photographed. 3. On the top of Komatsu, the silhouette was photographed in the evening. 4. On the cable car heading to Osuke Valley, remember to take the guide map where you can see that there will be markers on the map of Mount Fuji. 5. Parking directly below the Grand Valley Cable Car Station. Mount Fuji is easily covered by clouds, so you have to shoot immediately when you see it, otherwise it may disappear after a few minutes. It is recommended that you get up early, the clouds are not so thick in the morning and are easier to see. Cr: Yudie is my opening song
