Hakone Venetian Glass Museum & Little Prince St.Petite Exupery Museum
Hakone Venetian Glass Museum
Our second day to Hakone is going to two place which is Venetian Glass Museum and St. Petite Exupery Museum. Same route with yesterday to Hakone Yumoto, but this time we reach the Venetian Glass Museum with Tozan bus that is heading to Togendai and stop at Garasu No Mori stop.
Among of other places we visited during our trip in Japan, this place was my wife favourites place beside Alpine Route. The place is thematic and offer a romantic ambience, designed with combination of garden landscape and crystal at every corner.
We also enjoy a live musical performance in here. First at the exhibition chamber where two Italian musician consist of violinist and accordionist play a series of Venetian classic song and the others is at the restaurant while having a lunch accompany by a singer from Italy and a pianist singing a romantic songs. Very very romantic ambience. We even also buy their CD performance with signed autograph plus picture with them .
Little Prince-St.Petite Exupery Museum
Continue from there we take Tozan bus again to St.Petite Exupery, this place is a museum dedicated to a one man which his nick name was Petite. I don’t know well the history. Not much to see here.
Finish up at Hakone we going back to Tokyo, as planned before we are going to Odaiba area for a mission taking a photograph of Rainbow Bridge, Gundam and etc around there. We back to hotel first to inform hotel front desk again that we are going to use Ta-Q-Bin again to deliver our luggage to Airport so we can pick it up tomorrow before depart and we doesn’t have to carried our luggage to Disneyland first.
But then, Hotel from desk informed us that we can’t use Ta-Q-Bin 1 days before, It’s should two days before. Rather having risk that our luggage not at the airport when we depart, we ask for other option like taking a cab with our luggage or stored at hotel and get back again after visiting the park. We decide to bring the luggage this night to airport and storage it at a luggage storage service for 500 yen per night.
After finish up storage the luggage we continue to Odaiba, soon after we almost arrive we realize it’s almost midnight. We had dilemma again whether are we going to continue to Odaiba or not, realized that we aware of risk lost our transportation back to hostel since is already pass it’s operation hours.
Doesn’t want to risk paying expensive taxi fare back to hotel, we rather skip our Odaiba and directly continue back to hotel with train. From two option route with both of the route has two transfer, we choose the first train with less stops and longest stops at next train, not the way around. Our decisions was right, the last transfer train to our hotel is the last train at that time and stopped at our station. Lucklily we manage the situation before.
