Onsen Onsen Onsen and baths

Posted in Japan, in English at 19:00 by foppel

Went to Hakone today… Hakone is City/Region as well southwest of Tokyo..

It features the legendary Sulfur-pits over with you go with a wire-car, and you can eat eggs boiled in sulfuric volcano water…the outside becomes black because of this treatment, but they taste rather good.. well a bit sulfuric..

Later I took a boat over Lake Ashi, in which Mount Fuji is sometimes mirrored, but today he was shy and didn’t show himself.. too bad..

Later I visited the Hakone Shrine, which lies in a really nice forrest.

After that I went to an Onsen.. (which is like an open bath).. It wasn’t the biggest one around, but I had it for myself.. the water was 42 degree Celcius hot (about 90 and some F, i think..)

ok.. going now for a beer :) have fun
