I checked out of my Osaka hotel and headed toward Shin-Osaka Station in order to board the Shinkansen (bullet train) to travel to Hakone. On the way there, I was pleasantly surprised to see Mount Fuji and felt so lucky to do so, as its visibility depends on a clear day! Once I got off at Odawara Station, I walked a scenic route to the Odawara Castle. After an incredible Japanese meal at a local restaurant on the way back to Odawara Station, I boarded the train to Gora Station in Hakone, a peaceful mountainous town known for its hot springs resorts (onsen).
