hakone the most beautiful hot spring township in Japan

When you come to Japan, you aren’t going to bathe in a hot spring, that’s really a pity!

Hakone in south-western Kanagawa is Japan’s famed hot spring township and health resort. This area is about 90 kilometers from Tokyo. Evidently more than four hundreds of thousands of years ago, nearby Hakone used to be the crater, now here situated at the foot of the picturesque peaks, ravine stream trickle, charming scenery. Shimmering Lake Ashinoko is the volcanic lake, the total area of the lake is 7 square kilometres, the deepest is about 45 meters, the lake water is blue and clear. The tourists take a boat trip on a sunny day, and they can see the perennially snow-covered Fuji Mountain, Fuji Mountain is mirrored in baby blue lake water. Owakudani Valley is volcanic relics for two thousand years, the white smoke from the hillside curle upward all the day, Owakudani Valley is also one of the wonderful scene of Hakone.

I have been to Japan some times, Hakone may be the most memorable place. There are hard-boiled Black Eggs in the 3000-year old volcanic hotsprings, there are the famous “the seven soup”, this is regarded as seven hot spring resorts, in addition to the “Hakone Pali” and early cloud temple, thousand waterfalls, fairy, nine dragons and other attractions. Sitting on the trolley and cable car, the tourists can watch the winding valleys and beautiful views of lakes.

Well, today let us begin our journey in Hakone.

Hakone, if the weather is fine, the tourists have a great view of Fuji Mountain.

All kinds of stores, store of goods is dazzling, let a person too many things to see, it’s all here.

Japanese seafoods are very fresh, when our companion buy, the merchant donates many seafoods and smiles at us.

Hotel Yoshiike is merely a Spa Hotel in Hakone.

We have lunch here, sitting by the window, watching the beautiful scenery out of the window and enjoying good food.

Various kinds of tasty Japanese cuisine.

We take a pirate ship excursion on Lake Ashinoko, various kinds of three-dimensional images make the visitors pleasantly surprised!

My dinner is a cup of fine rice wine, and I become intoxicated.

I like the hot springs in Hakone. Day or night, indoor or outdoor, if you have the time and good mood, you are free to go to the hot spring.

After a light rain, the light fog shrouds Mount Fuji in the distance, breathing the fresh air after the rain and enjoying Japanese breakfast is quite an experience.

Some people say autumn is a season of quiet, people will have more peace; some people say autumn is the love season, there is poetic and picturesque; and some people say autumn is a season for missing, we just don’t know it.

Phi Phi Island is about 20 kilometers south of Phuket Island, Phi Phi Island is made up of four small islands, it was designated a National Park in 1983. It is a place that sunshine lighten, soft and white sandbeach, still and blue seawater, the natural caves as if placed by an act of God, and unpolluted natural landscape, which make it stand out from thirty islands surrounding Phuket Island, it becomes a really hot vacationland in recent years.

There are many hotels, taprooms, diving schools, etc in Phi Phi Don Island, perfect service facilities, it becomes a commercial and tourist center of Phi Phi Island. Phi Phi Don island is shaped like a dumbbell, the ends of the island are green hills, the middle of the island is the intersection of two half-moon shaped bays.

Ao Lo Dalum: the blue sky, the clear green seawater, delicacy sand beach, their ultimate goal is to find a relaxing chair on the beach facing the ocean and just sit, sharing the sunshine.

The long-tailed boats for tourists.

Parachute.

Ao Lo Dalum is a great place to find tranquility in a hustling surrounding.

When I walk in the woods I see some brown monkeys.

There’re still many residents living on hills.

While we reach the overlook place, we can view the charming and gentle tropical scene within our sight.

From the viewing deck, we can overlook the beautiful landscape of Ao Lo Dalum.

Banyan Tree Bay or Ao Ton Sai in the local language is the only wharf in Phi Phi Island, so from different places ships stay here.

Enjoying such beautiful view, they’ll feel so much better!

A pier in the Banyan Tree Bay.

We get on a long tail boat headed for Phi Phi Lay Island and start half day tour, the lovely boatman sees me filming him, he shows his favorite “gesture” when facing camera.

The Banyan Tree Bay pier is usually the first stop in Phi Phi Island, so there is always busy.

Not far from the pier, the ship on the side of the mountain is used for deep diving, we have experienced it the day before, very funny.

The long tail boat goes not far, we land on a shoal, there are many lovely monkeys here.

Monkeys have petite body, but people do not agitate them unnecessarily.

Look, the young woman just want to take a picture with monkeys, she is nearly beaten by monkeys.

A brief view monkey is over, and continue to start.

Phi Phi Don island.

Phi Phi Lay Island, precipitous rock faces and sheer cliff, is still an uninhabited island today.

The long tail boat.

Maya bay is the classic attraction in Phi Phi Lay Island.

Moviegoers should remember the Hollywood film The Beach, such a dreamy island is photographed practically as background plates in Phi Phi Lay Island.

The seawater is too cleanly and really beautiful.

The underwater world is very beautiful, not to be missed.

At the end of the snorkeling trip in Phi Phi Lay Island, the ship will take us around the islands and we will choose a secure place to snorkel again. This is the mountain behind Phi Phi Lay Island.
