Hakone is where I couldn't see Fujisan
April 17, 2008
On the only time I could go to Hakone the weather was terrible. Gone were my hopes of enjoying some of the best views of Fujisan. Hell, I have a dastard luck when it comes to watch Fujisan. I still enjoyed my day in Hakone: bought the Odakyuu Hakone Free Pass and rode the Romance Car, mountain train, cablecar and boat. The Hakone Open Air Museum was really good as well. At the end of the day I stopped by an outdoor onsen and had a nice massage. All in all it was rather nice despite the heavy rain that got me soaked in Owakudani and later developed into a cold, prompting my first visit to a doctor ever in Japan. The local treat in Owakudani are eggs cooked by the vulcanic activity underground and turn black. I never had such strange boiled eggs in my life! I can imagine how wonderful Hakone must be on good weather...
