We took a day trip to Hakone to see Mt. Fuji and to escape Tokyo. Yet another very early start to the day! (4:30am)
As we made our way into the mountains by train, the skies were clear and it looked like a beautiful day was ahead of us. On our way to the Mt. Fuji lookout, I spotted an Open Air Museum that looked intriguing, so we decided to make a pit stop and look around. The museum turned out to be this huge art gallery with several unique works of art from Henry Moore, Carl Miles and Picasso.
As the museum took so long to go through, by the time we got to the Ropeway to the Mt. Fuji lookout the clouds had rolled in, so there was absolutely nothing to see, except for the falling snow. We, sorry I however, enjoyed a unique treat of black eggs.
After the lookout we descended to Lake Ashi, which we crossed in a Pirate Ferry. We completed our tour walking through the pouring cold rain and along a magnificent Old Cedar Pathway.
