FUJI TRIP - HAKONE & LAKE ASHI
We took a day trip to view Mount Fuji, coach to Hakone and Bullet Train return to Tokyo. Unfortunately the weather was poor for clear photos of Mount Fuji.
Hakone, in Japan's Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park west of Tokyo, is a mountainous town known for its hot springs resorts (onsen) and views of the iconic volcano Mount Fuji. It also encompasses Hakone Shrine, a Shinto shrine with a red “torii” gate overlooking Lake Ashi, which can be toured by boat, as well as the boiling sulphur springs of the Owakudani Valley.
