SCARY Weather in Hakone Japan! #Japan #hakone #travel #japantravel #japanese #volcano #japanvlog
Seeing Mount Fuji was something we both really wanted to do when visiting Japan so it was high up on our travel itinerary. We weren’t lucky on the Shinkansen and couldn’t see it on our journey to Hakone but we had high hopes for the cable car and Owakudani. We bought the 2 day travel pass which was fairly expensive, especially on a backpacker budget, and unfortunately, it was too windy for the cable car to open.
We then paid for the bus to take us up to Owakudani where we completely understood why the cable car couldn’t open, it was SO windy and we couldn’t see a thing! We made the most of the trip and tried the black curry bread and the black eggs which are boiled in sulphurous waters giving them their black shell. It is believed that eating one of these eggs adds 7 years to your life, we’ll let you know!
We headed down to Lake Ashi to make the most of our travel pass and boarded the pirate ship which sails around the lake offering the most beautiful views. We couldn’t fully appreciate the views as it was pouring with rain and very windy. Back at Odawara station, we managed to get a partial refund for the 2 day travel pass that we hardly used which was fantastic!
