Hey guys. This is not comfortable.
Almost dropped my tea
Welcome to day two in Hakone
I left super early this morning. So early in fact that absolutely nothing is open yet
So now I'm in Gora
I took a little train through the mountains, it was really cute
Really nice
I'm going to go see if the park is open this morning
I'm climbing up this hill
And I haven't had breakfast yet
So if I'm out of breath and I faint, you know why
Hopefully this is the right way also
So I left the hostel around 7:30
Ish
Walked to the station
Took a little train through the mountains, it was really cute
Terminal is Gora
Where you can transfer for the cable way
But I'm going to see if I can find the park
I just bought myself some hot tea. Just love that you can get hot beverages
Jeez
I'm dying
How is this so steep?
Anyway going to see if the park is open, long story short
I do need to get back to Tokyo
Not too late today as I've mentioned which is why I'm trying to get an early start
Let me show you this hill because
Jeez
It doesn't seem like much
But it's pretty steep
This is Gora Gardens
Opens...
Hm , I hope it's at 9
We'll see
Because there it says at 10
But on the big board it says 9
And they just opened the grate. The grate?
The grid?
The gate. Oh my God
So I just had a quick breakfast and now I'm going to see if I can enter with my Free Pass
Of course I start filming next to a waterfall so you can't hear me
This is a little tropical flora area
In a little greenhouse
It's really cute
I'm most amazed by these gigantic leaves
These things
Look at the size of these
Woah
What are those?
Ah you can't even see them properly
Hang on, let me see if I can show you
Right there between the leaves
What are those?
So pretty
And sunny
And warm
Let's get away
Look at this little square
It's cute
I'm in another country with a little terrace
And a little fountain
Little cafes
And then the view. Which is disappearing but you'll see when I climb back up there
There are so many different ways as usual
And it makes me scared that I'm going to miss something
Ok there we go
There we go
I'm so happy that I get to see some of the red leaves
Before I go. They're just starting to change
Look at that view baby
What's cool about this garden is that even though it's autumn getting close to winter
You still get some nice things to see, nice plants
Not in full bloom
I expect that this place must look absolutely gorgeous in spring and in summer
But the red leaves on the mountain are really pretty
Now it's time for the transfer from the cable car to the rope way
And since it's above I think a volcano or there's volcanic activity
They give you a mask to protect yourself
And it's going to smell of sulfur, I can already smell it now
And sometimes they suspend it if it gets too much
Luckily I only have to go one way because I'm doing the loop and then I'm going to the lake
So looks like I'm going to be lucky
Going to wear my little mask
It feels humid, maybe it's a humid thing
We'll see
Very excited
Ok! I know I start everything with a 'ok' or a 'so'
But ok, so
Here I am at Owakudani, hope I'm saying that right
And here is a frigging volcano (volcanic valley)
Right there, right behind me
And the thing to do here is to eat an egg that has been hard boiled
Over here. It's a black egg
So after this I'm going to check that out
But first I want to see and soak up this view
The crowd has come
Good thing I'm already half way through the activities I think
As I've mentioned, the thing to do here is to get some black eggs
They're sold by five so I'm going to have to eat five eggs by myself throughout the day
It'll probably be my meal
Here they are, nice and warm
And I'm going to try and eat these in front of the camera even though, well you see the crowds here
It's going to be a little difficult to peel the eggs and everything but I'm still going to show you
This is a black egg
And they're hot right now
Gonna peel this one and have a taste
See you in a minute
Here goes guys
It tastes actually quite nice
I can't tell if it's that different but it has a nice flavour to it
It's just a real nice black hard boiled egg
This will be my meal throughout the day I think
I'm going to see if there are other typical
Odawa..kuni? Dani? (Owakudani) Damn it I can't remember the name
Souvenirs back in there but my priority was to get these eggs
You know what I really like?
Those seats
They're so cute!
Everybody here is enjoying their egg
I'm going to see what's over there
Cuz I'm a little curious
Just going to say hello to Hello Kitty again
So I guess you can't really hike up there anymore. I don't know if it's recent
But I know that the volcanic activity has been
Higher?
Jeez I can't find the word
For a months or even a few years now so it might have been closed for a long time
It would have been fun regardless but never mind
I don't know what I'll do now. Maybe I'll go the the lake already?
We shall see
Maybe have another egg?
There's a bunch of food over there but it's not translated into English
So even though it looks really yummy I don't have a clue what it is
I don't know guys
Maybe I can translate?
I've had that one before. I don't want sausage
Bacon
Coffee and milk?
Maybe, I've been craving coffee
Maybe that one. Number 13 looks good but how much is it?
I just had a coffee
I'm not supposed to have any coffee but I was really craving one today
And now I'm about to have
These
Which are roasted onigiri
Onigiri again. I know, I'm crazy for these things
And.. what was I saying?
Roasted onigiri in soy sauce
And I came in here because it's nice and warm. It's getting kind of cold up here!
And after that I'll move on
Let's try this one
It's really good
Simple, hot rice, soy sauce
Slightly grilled I think
Good, quite good. I'm enjoying that
See you in a minute
Kurotama Neko (Nyanko)
So cute
I'm back on the rope way
Queuing for the rope way to go to Lake Ashinoko
It says right there but I had to look for it
Still can't remember any of the names
Been here too long, too many names
And after the lake, I think there's a shrine, a cedar walk and then I think it's back to the station
I think there's a cruise across the lake or around the lake depending on the weather
And then you can see another floating gate and then there's a shrine as I've mentioned
Let's stop talking and I'm going to show you but since I was here waiting I thought I'd keep you up to date
With every body watching me
Vlog
Got a white one this time!
Can you even say 'I'm on a boat' anymore?
Without.. you know what I mean
Anyway, I am on a boat. A big pirate ship looking thing
And yeah everyone is boarding
I expect that a ton more people are about t o get on here
Look at those people on the little boats
I want to do that
That's so much more fun
You know how I was saying -well even complaining a little yesterday
That I was really tired and that I wished that I had an extra day in Tokyo instead of coming to Hakone
I put my foot in my mouth for that one
I take it back completely
The volcano, the cruise
The rope way, the onsen... definitely all worth it
Even though it does put me in a bit of a rush to get back to Tokyo and everything
But definitely worth it. I'm going to stay here
So I can save my spot while we cruise out on the open Ashinoko Lake
Over there you have the floating gate. Gonna try and zoom in for ya
Over there. Before the ship goes right in front of it
There it is
This is my last destination before I go back to Tokyo
This is all twisted
Here behind me you have the lake again
With the floating gate which I have just shown you
And I'm going to head to the Hakone Shrine
This is going to be my last stop then I'm going to take
Probably the bus I think. I don't know which way is the best way
The bus back to the station
And then a train back to Tokyo
This is where I've just been
All the way up there
You can see the cable car
Right there
The ship over there is the cruise I've just been on
And I'm completing the circle
By going to the shrine which is I think over there
That big gate there is probably the entrance to the shrine
Yeah that will have been my stay
It's a good thing I started early
This morning started with the park
It's a nice loop. I think it's the classic loop that I did so
I'm going to stop here because I like the view and I want to get a few photos in
And then from where I arrived I took the bus for one, no a few stops to
The place I'm going to insert here. It sounds like Moto something
So I'm giving myself a clue while editing (thanks)
It's Moto something something
Yeah
Hope you find it
And here we have the floating gate I want to take a photo of now
I like this view
The view is real nice
It's pretty, it's a nice day, I'm very happy
Last day here in Japan
I'm actually really sad
Of course Hakone is a place where you can do so many more things
You can have the real Ryokan experience which I hope to do one day
You can have more of the onsen experience except if you have tattoos
You have to research places, it's kind of complicated. I was lucky to find the place
I went to yesterday
Or you can go to K's House, they have an onsen. I haven't checked it out though so I don't know what it's worth
But the one I went to yesterday was really cool
Anyway guys, I hope you enjoyed this trip to Japan
I loved it, seriously I don't want to leave
I really don't want to leave at all
Yeah this is definitely the way to the shrine
I'll chat with you guys later
Until then, let's enjoy this last attraction, last spot here
Oh my God
Let's enjoy it
Where am I going to set you up?
Let's start with a view from the lake and then we'll climb up there
I just did a really good gratitude prayer
And then yeah this was my last spot
I guess I'm done here
I'm done
I don't know if this is it for the vlog itself
I might have a few more pieces of footage if I come across anything interesting
Or if I want to vlog anything else back in Tokyo
But for now, just in case
Thanks for watching and, you know, I l-word you all
Can't wait for you guys to see this, can't wait to get all these videos up for you
And relive my experience to Japan
Thanks for watching
And see you guys soon!
This is not the end of my Youtube channel by the way
At all
This is just for now
Bye for now, see you back in Belgium
For new adventures!
This little pathway is really cool. Maybe I'll go back that way
Yeah I don't know what to say
Almost missed it guys!
Yeah I'm back again
Almost missed this little path
Down to the floating gate
Let's not die. Almost did
This is really cool!
Let's perch ourselves up here
And queue up
For this little wonder here
I'm between the gates
I queued and now everybody is looking at me doing this
But totally worth the view
Out here in the water
So this is officially my last spot now
I think. Not sure
Say bye to Japan now
Going back home
I'm glad to say that I just vlogged that last clip
In front of everyone
And I would've never done that before this trip, I would've never done that back in Belgium
Back in Brussels
And now
I'm in a foreign country
With tons of people staring at me doing this
And I can do it
I'm fine with it
And that's amazing
Hey from Narita airport guys
Woah my voice
I have spoken today though
Anyway I made it to the airport
I took a bus this time. I don't know why I didn't take the bus the first time
I just followed the standard route and took the Narita Express
Oh yeah that's why I took the Narita Express: it was covered by my JR Pass
But on the way back the Narita Express would've cost me about 3000 yen I think
And the bus was like a 1000 yen so
Thank God I went to the information center
And sorted everything out
So I'm at my gate
I believe this may be my plane
Over there
Well I am like over two hours early as always
So it could be somebody else's plane
And yeah, I spent the last of my yen, I had 210 yen left
And this onigiri was exactly 210 yen
My very last onigiri in Japan
And I don't even know what flavour this is
Least flattering angle
Just a sec, I'm going to open this up
Oh no
Looks like that egg thing
I had that at a restaurant once and I found it really gross so hopefully this will be ok
Come with me
See, it's got this eggy texture thing
I'll have a go
It's the same as at that restaurant
I really don't like it
I escaped it until now
Oh my God no
No no
I'm going to enjoy this as much as I can. Maybe eat around the
What is it? It's like cod roe or something. I don't know my fish
Gonna eat this
And enjoy the view of Narita airport
