walking up the hill to the Gora park ( entrance was free with the daypass). bought the hakone pass for 4100 yen. the weather wasn't really permitting and i didnt have lotsa time. the boats wouldn't run becaues of bad weather so my pass was quite useless.

fountain in the middle of gora park, hakone. and a small coffee restaurant, it had cooler weather than tokyo. but still a little humid.
there were a few girls sitting in the coffee place. it just seems like a scene out of an anime.

view from the park. ( it's weird. part of it is dark and gloomy and part of it is bright and sunny.) about the cat. i seem to see alot of cats.
so far i've seen cats who lives in ikebukuro, one in odaiba, and now one in hakone. :D this one didnt run away when i try to pet it.

Hakone Ropeway( no different than the one in penang, malaysia). cable car. ( about the same as genting) but this one was a little bit more violent as the wind was pretty strong when we were there. it didnt help that i was afraid of heights. lol. couldn't see anything due to the immense movement of fog. this cable car went over the sulphur pits. smelly. ( i didnt see the eggs which was supposedly increase ur lifespan when eaten)

on the way to the hakone hotel i was staying(Hotel Resorpia Hakone) i tried the hotsprings tub. the open air one. i went when it was like dinner time so that i don't have to see so many ppl in the pond.
when i got there there was like 4 naked guys. and they do cover their privates with their hands. i thought they were so brave just to walk around naked. i saw one coming out of the pond with his hand covering his privates.
lol after washing myself .( the showers were facing the wall. so noone could see u from the pond.) after that just go in the pond and soak. after soaking. come out wash again. then go back in soak a little while more then out to towel dry. didn't wash again so that the so -called natural elements can soak into the skin.
room i had was just on top of a small man made pond. it would have been quite nice if it wasn't for the fact it was still in the summer weather.
