Hakone

 We travelled from Kyoto to Hakone yesterday . Due to a lack of understanding of the geography of the area we are staying in the village that is close to the train station and has great hot springs and pretty mountain streams (prettiness assisted by people in spots) but does not have a view of Mt Fuji. Sean did the on-site outdoor onsen last night and this morning- Milo only joined in this morning. (Although I never mentioned it our hotel in Miyajima also had an on-site onsen and they used it once.)

Our plan today was to do the Hakone loop but the weather turned rainy so no views of Mt Fuji to be had - we’ll head back to Tokyo instead. In the meantime we enjoyed our Japanese set breakfast- tiny cup of corn soup, salad, a bit of bacon and sausage, a cold runny egg, thick lightly toasted white bread, tiny yogurt with jam, and coffee or tea. The next time we come to Japan we’ll definitely do the Hakone loop.
