Good
morning Japan! We are ready to make an adventure. According to
itinerary, our trip will go to Hakone to see Mt.Fuji from Lake Ashi. Because of,
the distance was so far, we will go to Shinjuku station with first train in the
morning. We went to bathroom for brushed teeth, cleaned the face, and put some make up into tired face. We've already bought pas mo card to go to Shinjuku
station in Keikyu line. It was easy to find because Japan's guide well clearly.
You've to look the board to find the Keikyu line and for sure this is the right
train, you must see the board is hanged. It would written the next station for
the train. I knew, when you saw Tokyo Metro Subway Line, It would make you so
frightened. I did too, I spent several days to understand how the line worked.
I've just bought Japan Rail pass in Indonesia for seven days. So, in first day, I would use pas mo card.
The
train came, (I forgot to say thanks for all Japaneses, because I usually ask
them to cross check the right train or not. Well, it is the habit that made
envy. All people that I asked would help you to cross check the right train and
station, even he/she would asking other people/officer to help you. So, don't scare if you want to go there. People in there would help you so much and they
are so nice). Oh, you can check for train's schedule in Hyperdia. You've just filled station from/to and time. Tadaaa, it will show you many choices
about lines, time, and price.
We
arrived in Shinjuku station in the morning with the baggage. So, the first thing
to do is putting our baggage first in the locker. It was easy to find many locker in
big station. We searched locker's location closed to Odakyu
Sightseeing Service Center at Ground Floor West Side Shinjuku Station. Prepare coin or money 1000 JYP to use it, put your baggage and, close the door. This locker can be use for once time. For rent, the cost depended your baggage's size [35cm x 43cm
x 57cm : 300 JYP, 57cm x 43cm
x 57cm : 400 JYP, 117cm x
43cm x 57cm : 500 JYP]. Done!

We would buy Hakone free pass. What it is?

You can also ride on 8 different types of transportation to get there. So,it will useful for you to buy it if you want to spend all day in Hakone. Check it the information Hakone Free Pass
After
we bought free pass, we went to Lawson (convenient store) to buy breakfast and Fujiko F Fujio's museum ticket. Seriously, this machine would make you crazy
because all guidance is in Japan language. Even, I've already print screen the
way to buy. I didn't understand, so I asked to Lawson's staff to help me. Fiuhhh,
lucky me the last entrance ticket at 4.00 pm were sold. Yay, almost all things
done for today's plan.

Because, this is
Sunday, many people want to visit Hakone, even the locals. So, we must take long queue to get there. Arriving at Gora Station, we've decided to take lunch. I
knew from blog. There's famous pork cutlet in here. But, they're queue in
front of there. So, we've not taken that. I took lunch in restaurant who sold
oyakodon, ramen, and tempura. I chose oyakodon, because it was rare to see in
Jakarta.

Arriving
in Souzan, we must take ropeway to go to the top. Wow, autumn started to feel.
All trees changed the colour. But, heyy the weather changed. The fog just fill
the sky. Even the ropeway worked, but all the beautiful view couldn't be seen.
Hiksss, it was so sad.We couldn't go down to Owakudani which is famous with kuro
tamago (black charcoal egg). At the top, the rain and fog fill our sight so
suddenly the weather went really cold. But, the disappointing part was our cruise
at Lake Ashi closed due to weather :'(

We decided take back to central station to our hostel by bus. The traffic just came, so we spent like 3 hours in bus to Odawara Station. Arriving in Shinjuku at 8 pm, we would go to our hostel and met up my friend where lived there for a month. With him, we took our baggage and had dinner in bowl rice place and I had beef curry rice.
