Hakone Open Air Museum, Hakone Rope Way, Lake Ashi Cruise & Tokyo Sky Tree
Hakone Open Air Museum
This morning we are late behind schedule, we starting today trip a little noon since our mood is bad because our luggage is broken by Airasia handling of baggage. Heading to Hakone we take a rapid express train from Tokyo Station just only for 30 minutes journey. Arriving at Hakone changing station to Odakyu Line we bought a two day Hakone pass that granted us an unlimited journeys in Hakone with multi mode of transportation ranging from train, bus, cable car, rope way and even cruise at Lake Ashi.
Our first destination is Open Air Museum, it’s located at last station before Gora station. This place exhibit a sculpture or anything related to that at open space instead in a building or exhibition hall. It’s really unusual but seem interesting.
The weather that day is sunny and the tempretature is very hot, but that does not prevent us from enjoying the place. Since we got Hakone pass, admission fee is discounted. Almost every place in hakone have a discount admission fee if you can show yours Hakone Pass.
After finish walking around and take photography there we go out, since our stomach is yelling again we decide to have a lunch. Looking around of any option restaurant or place selling food we decide a small café called Bear or somekind like that I’m forgot exactly what’s the name.
Hakone Round Course
We choose that is frankly to avoid a raw food , both of us ordered a steak with different variant. My self ordered a mushroom steak and she’s ordered barbecue steak. It’s quite good and I can said it’s delicious. Like every other restaurant or place selling food in japan, they always serve drink of plain water serve in cold, offcourse it’s free.
Finish up there our schedule it’s continue to Gora Park, but since latest cruise is at 5 pm and still there’s a cable car and rope way before cruise we decide cancelling our Gora park visit and continue the next mode of transportation.
Taking a train to Gora station and continue to Owakudani with cable car and ropeway to Sounzan and Togendai. Arriving at Port lucklily we still catch our last cruise there schedule 15 minutes later depart to Hakone Machi port where we continue our journey with bus to Hakone Yumoto or Odawara station.
Tokyo Sky Tree
Taking rapid express train from Odawara to Tokyo we close our day with last stop at Tokyo Sky Tree. Our plan is going up to the tower. We arrive at the place less than 9 PM and we think we can still going up since we know the operation time is close at 9 PM. Unfortunately they have a last admission which is 8.30 PM I believe. So we can’t going up cause the ticket booth already closed.
Then we decide to take a picture from the distant outside the building, looking for a good spot and angle and as usual taking photograph. Back to hotel after that.
