+
+We took the suggested touristic itinerary around the Hakone mountains which employs all sorts
+of transportation means: bus, cable train, rope way, cruise boat and bus again.
+
+Along the way, we could see the volcanic sulfuric vents and pools, the Ashi lake with its breathtaking
+view of the Fuji-san, the ancient cedar avenue, the old post, the detached palace gardens and the
+beautiful [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto_shrine|shinto jinja shrine]] of with its
+[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torii|torii]] diving in the lake.
+
+Of course, I took plenty of [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Hakone2|photos of the Hakone trip]].
+
+=== April 18th - Hakone ===
+
+We arrived in a small town near [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakone,_Kanagawa|Hakone]].  I'll publish photos later.
+
+**Update**: [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Hakone|photos of the hostel]] are now available.

 === April 17th - Ghibli museum in Mitaka, Ginza ===
 
-Actually, the museum was a bit of a disappointment, but maybe just because I had my expectations so high.  Cameras weren't allowed inside, so I only took [[[[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/GhibliMuseum|few photos]].
