Trip to Hakone (2nd day)
Hello, I am owner of FEEL TOKYO.
It still continue cold weather in Tokyo. Probably getting warm from next week ?
Waked up the folllowing day, and I walked down to Ashinoko Lake（芦ノ湖）
It was beautiful weather.
次の日は、芦ノ湖まで下りていきました
Excursion boats come and go in Ashinoko lake

I will go up this Mt.Komagatake（駒ヶ岳) by ropeway.
この駒ヶ岳に登ります。
I reached the top in about 7 mins.
The view of Ashinoko Lake is overlooked.
約７分で頂上へ。眼下には芦ノ湖が広がります。
Mt.Fuji can be seen. It was cloudy on this day though.
ちょっと曇っていましたが富士山も見えました。
It is only 1 degree Celsius at the top of mountain. Very cold and windy !
But the awesome view is spread out in front of me.
山頂は気温1℃で寒かったですが、絶景です。
Character of Hakone is consisted of “Hako” (箱）and “Ne”(根).
根(Ne）means 嶺(Mine) or mountain, and 箱(Hako) means box.
It is said that the origin of Hakone’s name is the shape of Mt.Komagatake is like a box.
箱根という名前の由来は、「ね」は嶺、つまり山を表していて
「はこ」は駒ヶ岳の形が箱に似ているからだそうです。
There is a shrine at Mt.Komagatake.
After going down to the base of Mt.Komagatake, my kid enjoyed playing with sled at snow playgroud.
駒ヶ岳のふもとで娘は雪遊びを満喫しました。
We dropped by Soba noodle restaurant at the base of Mt.Komagatake ropeway for lunch.
ふもとにあるお蕎麦やさんで美味しいお蕎麦を頂きました。
If you have a chance, please visit Hakone.
Have a nice day.
