  • I stayed at Yoshikei Ryokan in Hakone-Yumoto. The huge Japanese garden is over 10,000 tsubo, and you can stroll around at your own pace. Super relaxing.

    Take the Odakyu Romancecar from Shinjuku Station to Hakone-Yumoto Station, then transfer to the Hakone Tozan Cable Car. You can see all the famous Hakone sights along the way.

  • It only takes about an hour by train from Tokyo, so it's super convenient for a day trip.
