The starting point of our journey in Hakone was an old tea house.
After a proper train and bus ride, we reached our starting point for the Hakone trip. The tea house offers hikers an opportunity to take a break in a traditional, primitive style...

After arriving at Lake Ashi, we visited the nearby Shinto shrine ⛩️
There is a very sought-after Torii in the waters of Lake Ashi, but the line of tourists was unbelievable long.
We then set off on foot along the lake and, after a few kilometers, reached the gondola station to ascend to Mount Komagatake. Up there, we took amazing pictures and were able to overlook the entire valley. It was a breathtaking atmosphere. Unfortunately, the trip was very exhausting for me since I developed a cold (it had to happen eventually😂).
