On October 26, 2019, I woke up at 7am to go for a walk. Went to a nearby shrine called Suwa shrine (location listed at top). Beside the shrine I thought was another shrine but turns out to be a cemetery.
I got back to Ryokkan 7:45. I forgot to give a tour of the lobby area last video. In the lobby there is a big teddy bear, and ping pong table.
Had a kiseki breakfast and super filling! Went back to my room to rest and pack everything up. While packing I noticed that I didn’t have my return ticket to Odawara station! I mistakenly gave the wrong ticket. :O
At 10am I checked out and put my luggage in the Ryokan storage area.
I walked around town until 11am and then headed back to Ryokan to get luggage.
The first bus I paid by IC card. 2nd bus I kinda partly showed my ticket and got on. I thought I was going to get away with it but at Gora station for the train I got stopped. I tried explaining my situation about the ticket. And that I really bought roundtrip tickets. The person didn’t understand English and a tour translator came to help me explain it at the station office. They said they will call the station to check the tickets. I waited for 10-15 min before they changed my going ticket and wrote something.
Oh, before Gora, I was at Hakone-Yumoto station and bought some kinda dessert (2 for 250 yen). 12:30 at Hakone-Yumoto station.
I was able to get to Odawara station (1pm) in time for my train to Kyoto at 2:08pm. I reserved the seats yesterday because I was already at the JR station. I’m like at a JR station everyday so it’s convenient for me to reserve seats.
