Japan Day 5 (with pictures)

First, I just want to say how much I love that Japan has the internet in even the smallest of hotels. It is, however, difficult to type on a keyboard that has Kanji letters on it. I keep accidentally hitting some random key and turning on the Kanji. Not sure what is going on with the fonts here either.

So here are the pictures of Hakone.

Hakone is this mountainous national park area which you can tour in a giant loop where to take an old train that switchbacks up the mountain, a cable car (funicular) that goes straight up the mountain, a  switchbacks up the mountain, a cable car (funicular) that goes straight up the mountain, a tram, and finally  up the mountain, a cable car (funicular) that goes straight up the mountain, a tram, and finally a boat and not just any boat but one designed to look like a pirate ship!

Open Air Sculpture Museum
This is one of the best museums I‘ve been to. The sculptures were outdoors in a beautiful park. They were fun and interesting. I love the sculpture above with the guy laying flat in the grass.
Beautiful look out tower in the Sculpture museum with stained glass walls.

Giant Jinga playground for the kids in the sculpture museum.

Our tram ride. It started to get a little misty.

And then it got really foggy!

Pirate ship with all the school kids. Notice their cute red and yellow hats.

Pirate ship ahoy!

In this beautiful shot of lake Ashti do you notice anything missing? Mt. Fuji is supposed to be in the background, but sadly it was too foggy to see.
