Day 2: Hakone -> Shinjuku
After breakfast, we took some photos by the lakeside. It was a beautiful day with the sun finally showing it's face. The lake was calm with the Sightseeing Cruise steaming away to the next destination. After our hotel check-out we walked from Hakonemachi-ko to Moto Hakone-ko. Along the way we passed by some souvenir shops near the Hakone Checkpoint. The boys posed for some pictures (*lol*).
We walked through Cedar Avenue from Hakonemachi-ko to Moto Hakone-ko. This is the old Tokaido Highway where Cedar trees were planted on both sides of the road to shade travellers in summer and protect the road from snow in winter.
Cedar AvenueWe were just in time to hop onto a Hakone Tozan Bus from Moto Hakone-ko back to Hakone Yumoto. The bus ride wasn't that comfortable. The roads were steep and winding. Five minutes into the ride Ah Mah started feeling nauseous. The bus driver kept on hitting the brakes and releasing it very quickly. We were glad to survive to the station in one piece.
Another RomancecarWe took the limited express train back to Shinjuku, and then a subway train back home. It was definitely an enjoyable and refreshing trip.
