Hello friends! This is my last photo diary entry from my recent trip to Japan (finally). We made a trip to Hakone, which was a couple hours on the train from Tokyo, and it was simply beautiful. It's kind of unbelievable that a place so close to the city can be so serene and untouched by the urban lifestyle. It was unfortunate that the weather wasn't too good, but the fog was so beautiful it didn't really matter. Apparently if the weather is nice you can see Mount Fuji from the cable cars. But we were able to see a tiny bit of Mount Fuji when the weather cleared up for a few minutes (literally) so that was lovely! It was also my first time experiencing a Japanese hot spring, and it was amazing. It's so calming and relaxing, and it makes your skin feel super soft. We also ate black boiled eggs in Owakudani. Apparently each egg extends your life by seven years - I ate two. It was super lovely and relaxing to spend a weekend away in Hakone, and it was a nice way to reset our minds and bodies for a busy week in Tokyo.
お久しぶり！今日は、この間（この間って言っても７月）箱根に行った時の写真をアップしまーす。東京からロマンスカーで２時間ぐらいだったと思う。こんなに東京に近いのに、こんなに奇麗な場所があってびっくりした。空気も奇麗で美味しかったし、景色もバツグン。私達が行った時は天気があんまり良くなかったけど、霧もすごく奇麗だった。でも、ケーブルカーから富士山が見えなかったのはちょっと残念だった。２日目に１０分ぐらい晴れて、ちょこっと見えたのは嬉しかった〜 今回箱根で初めて温泉に入った。すっごく気持ちよくて、ずーっと入っていたかった。シドニーには温泉ないから．．．大湧谷にも行って、黒たまご２つも食べたー！これで人生１４年も長く生きれる〜〜 箱根はとても奇麗で、すごく楽しくて気持ちいい週末でした！また温泉に行きたーい！
