it was like being the heroine of my very own Showa-movie (the historical Japanese period between 1926 and 1989) - I am, in fact, a Showa-born woman. But actually I am a kind of mezurashii (hm, particular?) heroine for this epoch - a single woman on tour is no something all too normal, so to speak. And yes, I got treated like a rare animal in between - which I enjoyed - since it was only for two days... any longer and I would have snaped.
In the evening I almost became an Oji-san (old geezer) - first Onsen, then Unagi at a small old shop, then changing into Yukata for the rest of the night, watching TV, then Onsen and finally TV again and japanese snacks~ the moment I realized I am turning into an old man was when I thought about getting a beer~ I made tea instead XD
about Hakone: green
and more green
and mountains
and green
and honstely, I loved it~
the only non-green part was the volcano smelling like a ton of eggs area~
some pics ahead - she would like to say BUT! which ones? I made roughly 400 pictures in two days... ok, most of them from greenery~
so today is GREEN-day XD (yes, bad pun)
oh and backyards/backstreets - no boys there, anywhere (also, bad pun)
and Hakon is paved with Evangelion (a pretty famous Anime)
ok, I am showing this first: I bought myself a snake-slime mask XD and used it - it's the same slimy feeling as every sheet-mask~ still...
my room in the little Ryokan I stayed at
my tea-set
my dinner-Izakaya-thingy
Unagi-(eel/Aal)-dinner
TV-snacks
breakfast on sunday
lunch on sunday
dinner on sunday~ (back in Tokyo made by my hsts ♥)
it somehow became a food-appreciation-entry~
hm... have some random nature as well... and you know~ stuff
like cable car-views
volcano-areas from above
mountain views
some plant
the peak of Kami-Yama
and at this point lj left me... I'll be back tomorrow (I hope~)
Good Night & Oyasumi Nasai from Tokyo
