Japan Day 12 P1

It's the 12th day of our Japan journey where we will visit one of the most famous landmark of Japan.

But first, bargain hunter blamer managed to source for discounts yet again. A visit to Odakyu Travel later... ...

Hakone Free Pass! Valid for two days actually, if you intend to stay overnight to watch the sunrise and sunset. However, Blamer and I calculated that if we were to ultilise all the available transport modes, it was still worth the ticket price even for a day's trip.

Grabbed a quick bite at ChezLa.

Will you just look at the crowd?? Amazing! I wonder if most of them were tourists like us?

From here on, we will embark on the classic round trip by train, cable car, ropeway, boat and bus.

First, train from Hakone-Yumuto to Gora. As what the sign was telling us, next destination Gora/Sounzan for the cable car.

Arrival of the train and people were already streaming into the carriages, while Blamer here still want to take pics.

We were segregated into different sections to board the train in an orderly manner.

Stunning mountain views along the way.

After around 45mins we arrived!

A little amazed at Japan's version of the cable car. It still travels on a cable, just that it seats more people. Our Sentosa version of cable car is equivalent to their ropeway.

We can see the volcanic smoke emitting out as we head higher up the mountains.
Ropeway on the left! That's where we will be heading next.

Arriving at Sounzan, we noticed the obvious dip in the temperature but the excitement of seeing one of the most famous landmark of Japan kept our spirits up! Ganbatte!
