Day Trip to Hakone

Tozan Railway- Oldest Railway in Japan

Saturday, November 26th we headed out for a day trip to Hakone. Hakone is near Mt. Fuji, up in the mountains, and known for its natural hot springs (Onsens). We originally planned to stay overnight and make it a 2 day trip, but an unexpected work trip to the States for Scott changed our plans to one day. We didn't have nearly enough time to do all we wanted out there, but we did get to ride the Tozan Railway (the oldest railway in Japan, with multiple switchbacks and great scenery), as well as go to the Open Air Museum. The kids LOVED the Open Air Museum- full of sculptures you can climb on and in, as well as Hand and Foot Onsens, and Koi ponds where they were able to feed the Koi.
