Roadtrip to Hakone and Eric is driving, yay!
So it's not too far away it's like one hour eighteen minutes. You just drive one more kilometer, straight.
We've got pretty views. Where are we now? We're in Kanagawa-ken which is like the prefecture next to Tokyo, and we've got nice mountain views here.
How do you feel about driving in Japan?
Pretty easy so far.
Yeah, pretty easy right?
Yeah, I've been driving around Japan. It's pretty easy.
Same as Australia, pretty much.
Taking a quick pit-stop!
Look! It's an Evangelion thing.
I've never actually seen Evangelion. I just know the song.
Look it's an Evangelion car. Do you want this car?
I'm trying this potato that I got as a present from a friend that went to Hokkaido.
They're potato chips but they're really good.
So we're in a restaurant and this is like noodles and stuff, so I think I'm going to get some udon.
And we told the guy we're from Australia and he gave us this Australian flag.
So cute. Whoops.
Yeah, so what're you going to have?
I don't know.
You don't know?
They gave us starters, so yeah it's like usually pickled stuff.
So I got this like ume kinda flavored soba, and I've never had this before. It sounds so interesting.
And, he said you just mix stuff and eat it.
And I got an onsen tamago because I love eggs.
Eric got bukkake soba so the soup is really good.
We're going to Hakone Roadway so we an see Mount Fuji,
but the problem is we got there kinda late and it closes at like 3:15 and it's 3:00 now so we just made it.
Unfortunately, we have to leave straight away, so we're going to get inside now.
On the Roadway entry..Oh! There it is. Let's go!
We're going up the cable car and there's like a lake there.
We just made it to the station. You can't really see it but,
yeah we don't have much time here, so we're going to stop, get off, walk around, then head back!
We made it up, but we have to leave now because like,
we've only got fifteen minutes until the last one so we have to go.
I meant to take the bus up and then we could go like
to the next station but because of the volcanic ash they closed it so yeah.
We can't go, unfortunately!
There's Mount Fuji over there! It's right there!
Not really a great view but
we're going to go somewhere tomorrow where we can get a better view so yeah! It should be nice.
But we had to go down now so were back at the cable car again.
Go back down to our spot and then we're gonna maybe walk around the lake and then after go back to the hotel and enjoy onsen!
We're going to take the cruise now.
So, I think we're taking this boat. And yeah, it is how much?
It is, uhm, I don't know how much It is.
It was more than that.
Well, anyway were taking one of these boats.
It was like 1800¥ return.
So yeah we're just going to go and just chill for a bit on a boat!
These are the times.
We're going on our boat. These are kinda cool, fancy.
The view is really nice.
Yeah, we're inside. Going here.
Yay!
Are you going to drop that camera?
If I drop it what will you do will you go swim and get it?
It's not my camera to get.
Oh, it's so bright!
This is our room and look, we've got a private onsen out there, it's quite small but that's okay.
Usually when you go to onsen places they give you sweets so, gonna eat this now.
Hmm, not bad.
This sweet has got like red bean inside it.
So we're going to chill here for a bit, maybe use the onsen and then we're gonna go out and have dinner!
Also the restaurant we went to earlier today, the guy was so nice, they gave us like all these bookmarks.
So the restaurant we went to is this, I'm pretty sure.
Can you see that? Yeah, this is the restaurant. That's the name of it.
So, yeah they're very nice people.
You definitely should go if you come around his area.
They gave us a whole bunch of like, café ore. I love this so that was so nice of them.
Just went into the onsen it was good. How did you feel?
Pretty good.
Yeah, it's been a long time since he's gone in onsen but I go in very often because, I mean I live in Japan.
So uhm, gonna go to dinner now. We're going to go to a gyoza restaurant, hopefully. Hopefully we can find it.
So, here we go now!
So we're at dinner and it's just some gyoza. Yay!
Forgot to film but we ordered so much food and yeah, it was pretty good so.
We've just ordered Chinese food here.
