Snow in Hakone !!

Marcinha’s never been in Hakone and as Monday is holiday, we had a great time there! This is the view from the hotel room. Ah, the hotel reservation was supposed to be a room in the occidental style and a small part of Japanese tatami style; however the hotel made a mistake and gave me a room without the tatami room.
As here is Japan, the hotel after checking all the mixed style rooms are full, they moved us to the best room in the hotel. 2 tatami rooms, usually for 5 people.

From the “rotenburo” (outside hot spring) it was possible to see the mountain Fuji, very close. First time I took cold sake in a “rotenburo”.
The funny thing was to way you get to the hotel. A lift… from the Ashino Lake…
The picture is from the lift.

“Garasu no Mori” has a beautiful garden.

Strawberry charlot and cheese cake with Italian live music is a must.
Behind is the mountain where the onsen gas concentration is and where we always have the black eggs.

The trees are made by crystal, in a Venice style. The museums and store have the greatest art in glass and crystal and decoration things in glass.

There is a museum in a small all built small city for the Little Prince. Very interesting house, to show all the Antoine De Saint-Exupery life story and how he wrote the book with inspiration in real experiences.

Hakone is becoming the center of culture in Kanagawa area, with the greatest hot springs and one of the most beautiful lakes where you can see the Fuji.
It's worth to spend the weekend there!!
