Excursion in Hakone (Part2) / 箱根小旅行 その2 [Journey]
ホテルのチェックアウト後、2日目は箱根登山鉄道「宮ノ下」駅からスタート。
After checkout, our second day has started from the Miyanoshita station of Hakone Tozan Railway.

アンティークショップが立ち並ぶ通りを抜けて、各国の要人や著名人が多く宿泊したクラシックホテルとしても有名な富士屋ホテルへ。ここはジョンレノン&オノ・ヨーコ夫妻が滞留したことでも有名なのだとか。


At the Fujiya Hotel 富士屋ホテルにて
We went through the street where the antique shops stand in a row and got to the Fujiya Hotel famous as a classic hotel where many important people and public figures stayed. It is said that it is famous for Mr. and Mrs. Lennon (John and Yoko Ono Lennon) stayed here.
ざっと見学したあと、ホテル付近から所要時間2時間程で行ける散歩道&ハイキングコースを歩いてみることに。線路を踏み越えて、ようやくスタート地点へ。

We looked around this hotel roughly, and then we tried to walk the path and hiking course which takes about two hours. After we had stepped over the railroad, we got to the starting point.

まずは、富士屋ホテルのベーカリーで購入したビーフカレーパンで腹ごしらえ。
濃厚なルーがぎっしり詰まっていて非常に美味でした。 |
At first, we ate the beef curry bread that we bought at the Fujiya Hotel's bakery. It was stuffed with a rich curry roux, and was very tasty.
ハイキングと言っても標高約800mの浅間山(せんげんやま)登山なので、普段歩き慣れていない私たちは、途中何度も休憩を取りました。
歩き始めて約40分、ようやく中腹へ。ここにはちょっとした見晴し台があり、天気が良いと富士山が見えるのだとか。

In spite of hiking, we had to climb the Sengen mountain which has an elevation of about 800 metres. We are unaccustomed to climb the mountain, so we had to rest many times.
About 40 minutes went by, we got to the mountainside. There is a small observatory, and if the weather is good, we can see the Mt. Fuji.
檜の良い香りにに包まれながら、続けて歩くこと約30分。ようやく山頂付近まで辿り着き…、


And we walked about 30 minutes wrapped with the fragrance of hinoki (=cypress), we reached the mountaintop neighborhood.....
|
ついに、頂上へ到着!
At last, we won the top of the mountain! |
その後、時折見かける色の違う木を気にしつつ、「千条(ちすじ)の滝」を目指してひたすら下山し…、


Afterwards, we occasionally saw trees with different color, and we aimed at the waterfall called "Chisuji no taki" and went down the mountain.....
「千条の滝」到着! We reached the waterfall!

そして歩くこと約10分、小涌谷駅に到着。箱根登山鉄道に乗って箱根湯本駅まで戻り…、


And then, we walked about 10 minutes and got to the Kowakidani station. We returned to Hakone-Yumoto station by Hakone Tozan Railway.....
|
夕方発のロマンスカーを待つ間、駅近くの茶房でゆったりと時間を過ごし…、 |
We spent time leisurely at the tearoom near the station, while waiting for Romancecar of the evening departure.....
ロマンスカーに乗り込み…、 We got into the Romancecar.....

車内では、今回利用したレディースプランに含まれている最後のもてなし(和菓子サービス)を受け…、 |
In the Ramancecar, we received the last service (Japanese sweets service) included in the lady's plan that we used this time.....
無事帰路につきました〜。
その後、筋肉痛に悩まされましたけれど…(笑)。
それにしても、長っっ!! ←爆
We returned home safely.
But after, I was troubled by a muscular pain...
By the way, too long!!
