This is what it ended like....
And this is what it started out like....
In between we had some good fun. Hakone is one of Japan's more popular holiday spots, providing walking trails, tourist shops, onsens and even a trip on a pirate ship. But it was extremely hot even for people from Nelspruit, via Durban, via Hotlanta.
16 July is a public Holiday in Japan, Marine day This celebrates the seas and oceans, which forms an important part in Japanese life and culture. The second photo above, was taken on Friday the 13th when we arrived in Hakone, at about 8:15pm. There was one open shop in the station, everything else was closed.
Fortunately the backpackers (K's House) where we stayed was still open. We have stayed at a K's House in Mt Fuji area, as well as in Ito Onsen before. Every time we have been very satisfied with the experience we had.
In the next postings more about the open air Art Museum, the sulphur spewing volcano we visited, and the Pirate ship we sailed across Lake Hakone.....
