buy food and drinks on the train toilet facilities are clean I love running other trains especially coming out from the city and into the countryside because you can see how it starts to change it's all concrete jungle slowly rice fields and then all of a sudden as you near and as you get closer to the Hakone it becomes more and more of nature either forest green well it's winter time right now so it's not that green but it's still very beautiful here I'm so happy so happy we arrived we arrived with a hot corner you wanna I gotta say the air is so much cleaner today is a very nice River yeah I think we're gonna walk around and we're gonna get something to eat man just cougar just I have a really good time here it's Sunday many people coming to this spa area hakuna make this blue blue blue sky so right now we're walking along the streets of Hakone yumoto this is like the main street of hakuna probably the most busiest where all the shops and restaurants are and it's really really fun if you guys come here we do recommend you come early because the shops do close early here it is not tokyo most of the shops are closed by 5 p.m. we're coming here are the own same lungi you definitely have to get that one all the Japanese people get that it's um it's delicious and I also recommend getting some cumin because all that water is famous for their women which are quicker clumps another thing I love about this street is all the shops have samples like this one wasabi snack let's try most hobby snack 540 in for a whole bag oh oh why do I really feel like having an insane Manju and something else but we're actually gonna go eat lunch right now so I don't want to fill up with snacks and this is what Hakone is famous for this is one of their their handmade items and you're famous for this is all made of wood isn't it beautiful so we're gonna go to this place called keinosuke they're finished they are famous for grilled fish I feel like eating something simple and although a

with a really nice modern sink and got a blow dryer and you got soap you got towels you got amenities all in all it's a very very nice room I love it [Music] good morning everybody so I had a really good sleep despite the bad dream I had but I had a lovely dinner last night I had lovely dip in the hot spring on set water it was so nice and I feel so chill this morning I can't wait to go exploring today so we're taking a cable car to our kudani station which is where the volcano is Hakone we're gonna eat those black eggs they say if you need one egg it extend your life seven years very terrible Oh did you back there check it out oh we're so lucky you know you see all the sulfur gases down down down below a little bit scary the winds are strong and our gondola is swaying from side to side it's so scary but this came out well we have arrived safely at our kudani and yeah you know I can't even remember the last time I was here but this is a spectacular place I think they renovated this place in very beautiful vidiian yeah um and um the second floor has a restaurant right now oh well there was a restaurant before by thinking yeah it just looks so new at moderate right now yeah we're gonna check out the gift shop later ready for now we got to go eat those eggs because I have to extend my life because I'm not young anymore guys so check it out [Music] here's a normal egg it's actually kinda creamy it's already cold you know I haven't been back here for many many years and I remember many years ago you used to be able to walk around the the rocks you know amongst all the the sulfur gases but I guess it's a little bit dangerous now so they are refurbishing it they are they're putting up some safety measures etc and they're improving it so they're supposed to reopen it up again in the near future but anyway it's it's still a very interesting place to come is very rare at least for me to be so near to mother nature like this and of course to extend your life by seven years by eating one egg I mean where else can you do that right now we're gonna take the rope way down to talk and die we're gonna board of college hopefully it's operating because they just need an announcement because of strong winds the roadway may be suspended I don't want to stay here by the volcano wanna go through they could I see please right [Music] we are talking debut restaurant rotten rice nothing on rice isn't it the people with the migra sauce and um rice it attacking us I like this I like this fluffy type boom rice maybe it is the Japanese a unique style it's so smooth glory to news it's like a cream of all this fluffy omelette is good this is the most popular dish in this restaurant I on the other hand did not order anything because unfortunately I'm not hungry yet we had a pretty big breakfast and we didn't do anything active all morning so yeah I just got myself a matcha latte and that's it I think I'm gonna wait until we get to the other side of the lake and maybe I'll get something over there I'm afraid of the water for some reason I also get seasick but suppose she assures me that this boat is okay this is a lake it's not the ocean so there's gonna be very few waves hopefully I'm okay [Music] your idea how can you watch it all this is like nice little town with restaurants and shops I like this place one of my favorite places in the last ship of today it was yeah so we just made it in time what should we do here let's walk around walk alone okay now I mentioned that there are a lot of shopping and restaurants here and there is like for example this building that were entering right now this is actually a new building and there's a lot of these shops here that's selling specialties of the area like this shop right here they sell the famous Oda wadda kamaboko fish cakes and here they have a really cool restaurant on the second floor that sells things like much of Pancakes and dangal like this Dongo dish it looks so good for 1,100 yen you get like one two three four four sticks of dangle with three different flavorings and a cup of whole GT that looks really good the shop here that's selling a lot about Japanese snacks and seasonings and there's a little coffee shop here as well as a gift shop oh they have ice cream too and this place is located right in front of the the boat station that pirate boat station so what we can do in Hakone town coney much you can ride a boat look that's one boat or you can walk around and you can buy many souvenirs here of course you can eat a delicious food and imagine Omachi para checkpoint or the checkpoint place called the hakuna section and in front of this section there are so many shops crafted so cheap there are sticky rice sticky rice sticky rice it's really windy and cold and well I guess the shops are kind of closing up so we're gonna start heading back into town now we did manage to enjoy ourselves some traditional Japanese sweets and there really is a lot more to see and do in this area but maybe because of the weather and because it was a weekday and perhaps cuz it was already 4:00 p.m. all the shops are closing up so it was time for us to head back into town so we're back at Hakone yumoto station all we gotta do now is go back on the romance car and head back to Shinjuku thank you so much for watching thank you so Tony for the wonderful birthday my pleasure if you guys are interested in visiting happenin I left some useful links in the description below so check that out thank you for watching see you next video bye [Music]
