Day 13 - Travel to Hakone

A bit damp and dank this morning. Caught Shinkasen to Odawara and the bus up the mountains to Moto Hakone. The Hakone area is centred around lake Ishi and comprises a number of small Spa towns and attractions based on the areas volcanic past and the natural beauties of the area. Unfortun ately the weather has closed in and we cannot see a sausage let alone beautiful vistas. Our guest house is a Japanese B&B, we walk down to the village and find that due to the bad weather most of the tourists have left and everywhere is shut. We buy dinner at the Seven-11 and take it back to our rooms to eat.
