Tokyo January 2015 (Day 9) - Hakone - Part II

Along the way to Gora Station on the Hakone Tozan Train (2nd Section), we stopped over at the Chokoku-no-Mori Station to visit the Hakone Open-Air Museum.  The station is only one stop from Gora Station.

From Gora Station, we switched to the Hakone Tozan Cable Car for Sounzan Station where we took the Hakone Ropeway for Lake Ashi.











From Sounzan, we took the Hakone Ropeway for Owakudani (Great Boiling Valley) Station to view the sulphur vents.  Another advantage for stopping at Owakudani is the opportunity for great photograph shot of Mount Fuji.  At Owakudani, we did not missed the chance to try the renowned Owakudani Black Egg.
