Some musings on my brief trip to Asia. This was my second time to China and my first time to Japan (and it just so happened to coincide with the annual Cherry Blossom Festival). Because I had been to China previously and I speak the language, my friend begged me to be her guide. Granted, she did not have to do much begging for me to wholeheartedly agree!

Hakone

Our goal for the day was to see Mt. Fuji, however, it just wasn't in the cards for us.  Although we ended up having a magnificent day anyway.  I had never been on so many different modes of transportation in 1 day before!

The day's agenda included:

Multiple transportation experiences in Hakone...

  • Trainride from Tokyo to Hakone
  • Busride to Lake Ashi
  • Walk along the Ancient Cedar Avenue
  • Boatride through Lake Ashi
  • Cablecar ride on the Hakone Roapway
  • Trainride to the Open-Air Art Museum
  • Busride to the Yunessun Onsen
  • Trainride from Hakone to Tokyo
and...
  • Dinner in a Kaiseki-ryori
