This is not how I picture a Japanese hotel, though!

We primarily took subways and trains, and all the signs there were in Latin/Roman alphabet as well as Japanese characters. To get from Tokyo to Hakone, I joined a bus tour because it was the most direct way for us and all our luggage to get to Mt. Fuji. If you just wanted to visit Hakone National Park, it can be done using public transportation all the way.Michele {Malaysian Meanders}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18313351463568423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-11556669551794751182014-05-26T14:48:44.043-05:002014-05-26T14:48:44.043-05:00Sounds and looks like an unusual place but definit...Sounds and looks like an unusual place but definitely a great one when you have energetic kids.

Staying here seems like quite an experience by itself I like the idea of hot springs being piped into the room. t guess it was good that there was no English channel; it brought out fub abd creativity from your kids by coming out with their own dialogue for a movie. . marisol@travelingsolemateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168789607819153434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-10672870984143057972014-05-25T12:39:20.114-05:002014-05-25T12:39:20.114-05:00What a great hotel!
