Excursion in Hakone (Part1) / 箱根小旅行 その1 [Journey]

先日、真ん中の妹と箱根湯本へ一泊旅行に行って来ました。

箱根は、新宿から小田急ロマンスカーに乗って約１時間半という近場の温泉地。私も過去に何度か訪れている馴染みの町です。

Romacecar at Shijuku Station (Tokyo)　ロマンスカー／新宿駅にて

The other day, I went on an excursion to Hakone-Yumoto with my middle sister.

Hakone is famous as a hot-spring town where it takes about one and a half hour from Shinjuku station by Romancecar (Limited Express Train). And I once went to there several times.

行きの車中では、予約しておいたお弁当に舌鼓をうちつつ、車窓を楽しみました。

In the train, we ate reserved box lunches, and enjoyed looking at the passing views from the train window.

初日は昼過ぎに箱根湯本駅に着いてから、
徒歩７分程度の場所にある、箱根町立郷土資料館へ行って箱根の歴史や文化に触れてみたり…、

Hakone Local Museum Admission Ticket , Leflet, Free Manual 箱根町立郷土資料館の入場券（200yen）、無料解説リーフレットなど

First day, we arrived at Hakone-Yumoto station in the afternoon.
Afterward we went to the Hakone Local Museum which is located about 7 minutes walk from station, and learned Hakone's history and culture.....

一旦宿泊先に荷物を置いて、
箱根寄木細工（国指定の伝統工芸品）で有名な町、畑宿（はたじゅく）へ行き、伝統工芸の鑑賞、そして、江戸時代の街道の石畳をしばらく歩き（←登り？）、当時の人々へ思いを馳せてみたり…、

After we had left our baggage at hotel, we went to Hatajuku where it is famous as a Hakone Yosegi (=Wood Mosaic Work / One of the Traditional Crafts of Japan), and appreciated them.
And we walked (<--climbed??) an Edo Period's old road of the stone pavement for a while, and turned our thoughts toward the then people.....

芦ノ湖まで足を伸ばして、湖畔に立ち、昔家族で遊びに来たことを思い出してみたり…、

At the Lake Ashi　芦ノ湖にて

Besides, we went to the Lake Ashi, and stood on the shore, recalling the family trip.....

夜は宿泊先の温泉でしっかり疲れを癒し、豪華な夕食に満足しつつ、エステでアロママッサージを施術してもらってから、懐かしのゲームコーナーで遊び、眠くなるまでおしゃべりして一日を終えました。 つづく…。

At night, we relaxed in a hot-spring bath and enjoyed eating a wonderful dinner. And after we had a massage with aromatherapy, we enjoyed playing some games, and we talked until we became sleepy. Well, our first day had finished.....
