March 20: Hakone Loop

 Today, we made our way up the mountain by bus and train.  Once we reached the top, we took a ropeway and were treated to stunning views of the lake below and Mt. Fuji.  Afterward, we did a bit of shopping and tried the famous black eggs, said to bring good luck — they tasted surprisingly similar to regular eggs! On our way down, we boarded a pirate-themed boat that offered beautiful panoramic views of the lake. After sailing around and taking in the scenery, we headed back to the hotel by bus.
