I love the train in Japan! It is so easy and fast! We took the train from Hiroshima to Hakone last night. It was really late and really foggy when we finally arrived at the train station in Hakone. We were the only ones to get off the train and we couldn’t see anything. We walked from the station to the hotel and I felt like we were in a horror movie.
We’re staying at the Fujiya Hotel, the oldest Western-style hotel in Japan. Helen Keller and John Lennon have stayed here and Paul McCartney from Liverpool signed the guest book just before us. My husband swears its the Beatle.
It’s rainy and cold and we haven’t been able to see Mount Fuji. We still went on the switchback railway and the cable car tour over the sulfur springs, but Mt. Fuji is lost in the clouds.
