Hakone 1 Day Getaway

Last Saturday, we went to Hakone. Due to my poor planning, we didn't manage to enjoy Hakone to the fullest. I bought a 2-day freepass (1-day free pass is not available) at the night before, which ended up the expiry date is the next day (how foolish I was, I should have bought it on the morning we were going). We did view the beautiful autumn leaves of different shades of colours, ride the ropeway and enjoyed the beauty of Mount Fuji and bubbling steam of onsen from atop and ride the pirate ship. What we missed were onsen experince (not that I dare to be naked in front of so many people though. If we had spent an extra day, we'd be able to go to private onsen in a ryokan), owakudani egg (which is said to be able to increase longevity - 1 egg equals to 7 years of life!) and visits to several museums and gardens.

Anyway, I managed to capture some nice views using my phone. Tadah!

Nice coffee at Naraya cafe

Isn't the railway awesome?

I did miss snapping a lot of picures as I was busy admiring the scenery. =p
