🥚🏔️ 2D1N Hakone Itinerary ♨️🚢🚠

🏠 Hotale: Yamadaya Ryokan - Affordable ryokan with very comfortable futon (Had the best sleep here!) and delicious meals served to your room in the evening and morning - Traditional natural hot springs (onsen) and authentic washoku meals (dinner and breakfast included) 🍱 ⚠️ The onsen is separated by gender, BUT check the schedule as the onsen alternates. A sign outside will indicate the swap times, allowing both genders to enjoy all the onsen facilities at different timings (e.g Male can try Female onsen at X timing and vice versa) - You’ll also be provided with a yukata (light kimono), making it easy to enjoy the onsen experience in true Japanese style 👘 - Spend your time relaxing in a tatami room, soaking in the hot springs, and leaving all your worries behind 😌 🗺️ 2D1N Itinerary 🌋 Owakudani (Hell Valley) - A volcanic valley filled with steaming vents and sulfuric landscapes. Be prepared for the smell of sulphur! - 🥚TRY the famous Kurotamago (Black Eggs): legend has it they’ll add 7 years to your life! ⛩️ Hakone Jinja Shrine - Known for its stunning Torii gate (Heiwa no Torii) on Lake Ashinoko ⚠️ The queue for photos can be long (around 1 hour), but the serene atmosphere, moss-covered trees and beautiful views is WORTH IT! 🗻 Lake Ashinoko - A peaceful lake offering picturesque views of mountains and greeneries. ⚠️ You’ll be lucky to spot Mount Fuji in the background (subject to good weather) ⚠️ Pro Tip: Get the Hakone Free Pass, which covers all transportation in Hakone and a round-trip from Shinjuku to Hakone. It’s a great value for exploring the area with ease! ⚠️ Travel Time: The trip from Shinjuku to Hakone takes around 3 hours one way, so if you’re pressed for time, consider visiting Kawaguchiko as an alternative ⚠️ Consider packing light or leaving your large luggage in a locker in Tokyo if you’re visiting Hakone for a short stay, as you’ll be traveling and moving a lot on foot #100waysoftravel #japan #hakone #japanitinerary
