On my 13th day of travelled to Hakone from Odawara, which is one of the best places to get a view of Mount Fujiyama.

I left my hotel, “The Hotel Kunimi” in Odawara and set-off on the trip to Hakone with my girlfriend.

We stopped off in Hakone-Yumuto to visit a shop my girlfriends friend works at. The shop sold honey ice cream too.

We didn’t spend too long in the shop as we had to catch the train to where we wanted to go.

We had to catch the Odakyu Hakone Line which goes forward and then backwards.

Below is an example of a ticket machine in Japan, you can either pay using cash or Pasmo/Suica card.

To get to where we wanted to go we had to catch a weird train up or down the hill.

From Gora I could no longer use my Suica card. I had to pay around 1600 JPY to catch the Hakone Ropeway/Cablecar to Owadukani.

On the way to the exit of the station, I saw this. How about a good luck charm?
