Travel Review: Japan Tour, Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Yokohama, Yokosuka

I think the most memorable was a day in Hakone when we took a taxi from our ryokan to the train station to begin our ride around, up and over the mountain area we were in.  We took a mountain train packed with tourists in only 5 or 6 cars and got off and on whenever we saw something appealing.  The outdoor museum was a fantastic experience and we completeld our morning there with a lovely lunch in the museum.  Got back on a train, continued our journey till the end of the tracks and transferred to a cable car that went straight up the mountain, then connected with a ropeway (gondola) that took us down the other side of the mountain to the lake.  We got on a boat and traversed the lake, found buses waiting on shore and a bus ride back to the train station in Hakone and another taxi ride to our ryokan! What a day that was!  Taxi, train, cable car, gondola, bus, boat and lots of walking..that was a full day!

The people of Japan were most delightful, friendly and so happy we enjoyed their country.  We were very impressed with the cleanliness and efficency of Japan!
