Today was the day to travel to Hakone, and get settled in our Ryokan and, perhaps, get some time in an Onsen.

We took the train to the Hakone Open Air Museum and checked out sculptures and other artwork.

The afternoon was for a trip up and down the mountain on a funicular and cable car.

A trip across Ashi Lake and then a bus back to the Ryokan.

Last, fancy, breakfast at Tensui Saryo, trip back to Tokyo, and Shibuya food tour.

This morning, we took the Toei Ōedo Line from Tochōmae Station to Tsukishima Station (12 stops) to take a soba making class. The location is not far from the Tsukiji market we visited during our first stay in Tokyo earlier in this trip.
