#東京景點 

千條瀑布被譽為"天然瀑布奇景"。這裡匯聚了數以千計的細小瀑流,在林木的掩映間紛紛從高崖上瀉下,構成了一幅氣勢磅礡的大自然奇景。

一路行來,便能聽見溪水由高空激瀉而落的隆隆水聲,伴隨著熱帶樹林濃密的鳥鳴虫叫,便知已接近了千條瀑布。待走入瀑布所在的峽谷中,只見綠樹成蔭,一望無際的密林正對著眼前的一面巨大斷崖頂部綿延不絕。

仔細一看,從那陡峭如刀削的岩壁頂部,奔騰而下的並非只有單一一道大瀑布,而是數以千計的小瀑流匯聚在一起,形成了這瑰麗奇景。細細數來,這些細瀑流雖然不過是指尖般粗細,卻有大大小小逾千條之多,相互交錯著從高崖上奔瀉而下,灑落成一片白色的水幕。

瀑布落下之處形成一個廣闊湖潭,湖面平靜如鏡,將千條瀑布的雄偉景象完全呈映在潭中,上下相疊,更顯磅礡壯觀的規模。我們站在潭畔,任水花不時濺上身來,仰望那如飛瀑般傾盆而下的水流,內心油然而生一種對大自然無上威力的敬畏之情。

每每徜徉於這淳朴自然的瀑布奇境,我們只有對大自然由衷地肅然起敬。這裡原始純淨的自然之美,令人很難想像竟還能在現代化的世界中存在這般奇景。或許,這正是造物者賦予如此優美絕景的祕密所在。

A Serene Onsen with 140 Years of Tradition

A Thousand Waterfalls is known as a "natural waterfall spectacle". Here, thousands of tiny streams converge, cascading down from high cliffs amidst the shelter of trees, forming a majestic natural wonder.

As you approach, you can hear the thunderous sound of the creek plunging from the sky, accompanied by the dense chirping of birds and insects in the tropical forest, signaling the proximity to A Thousand Waterfalls. Upon entering the canyon where the waterfalls are located, you are greeted by a canopy of green trees and an endless dense forest facing a huge cliff top that stretches continuously.

Upon closer inspection, from the steep, knife-cut rock wall top, it is not just a single large waterfall that tumbles down, but thousands of small streams that come together to create this magnificent spectacle. Counting carefully, these fine streams, although only as thick as fingertips, number over a thousand, crisscrossing and pouring down from the high cliffs, forming a white curtain of water.

Where the waterfall falls, a vast lake forms, with a surface calm as a mirror, reflecting the grandeur of A Thousand Waterfalls in the lake, with layers upon layers adding to the impressive scale. Standing by the lake, with water droplets splashing onto us from time to time, we look up at the waterfall-like torrents pouring down, and a sense of awe for the supreme power of nature spontaneously arises within us.

Whenever we wander in this pure natural waterfall wonderland, we can only sincerely respect nature. The pristine beauty of this place makes it hard to imagine that such a spectacle can still exist in the modern world. Perhaps, this is the secret of the creator's gift of such a beautiful and unparalleled scene.

Japan Hakone - A Romantic Hot Spring Journey

Japanese Accommodation The Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU hotel is such a great place to stay.
Facilities
The hotel is very new, which is rare among the many inns in Hakone with a history of a hundred years, so the facilities are all very good. The rooms are large, with tatami mats, and a standard deluxe room can sleep four people.
Hot Springs
The hotel's public baths are especially nice, with separate floors for men and women that switch every other day. The fifth floor has a garden waterfall view, and the sixth floor has an infinity view, both of which are amazing. The skincare and bath products provided are all from POLA, which are also reassuring to use.
Meals
We booked a one-night stay with two meals. Both breakfast and dinner deserve five stars. Especially the dinner, we booked teppanyaki, and at the reservation time, a shuttle bus took us to the restaurant five minutes away. The ingredients were very good, from the appetizers, main dish Matsusaka beef to the dessert, all were delicious, with the taste of high-end cuisine. Even if not for the stay, just for this meal, it would be worth going once.

For our trip to Hakone, we stayed at Okayama and bought the Hakone area pass which was valid for 3 days. This gave us unlimited travels within the designated area which helps to save some cost from accommodations in Hakone itself. However, we had to plan ahead and spare more time for our programme and itinerary in Hakone. We also visited Okayama castle just before returning back to Tokyo on our last day in Hakone-Okayama.

From Okayama, we travelled to Hakone via bus, train, and tram etc. We also managed to ride the iconic Hakone ship to take the cable car up to a viewpoint of Mt. Fuji. Hakone is also a very popular spot for viewing of Mt. Fuji, apart from Kawaguchiko. We spent a total of about 2 trips over 1.5 days to cover 80% of Hakone. We took the Romancecar from Shinjuku to Okayama and back using the same route.

Overall, our experience in Hakone was a memorable one even though we didn’t manage to see the skywalk and bridge as our travel period fell during the closure period of the sky bridge but we did get to go to Gotemba Premium Outlets where we had a close up view of Mt. Fuji (see images). #hakone2024 #japan2024

Upon arriving at Hakone NICA, how can one miss out on the hot springs? The first day we reached Yumoto was already noon, so the main activity planned was to enjoy the hot springs.
We made a phone reservation the day before for a private bath at Hakone Yuryo. Because we booked late, only the 1 PM slot was available for two hours. We wanted to book a large room for four people, but it was not available, so we booked a small room for two people for 9600 yen.
🚉Transportation guide:
✅From Hakone Yumoto Station, take the mountain tram towards Gora Sounzan direction, get off at Ohiradai Station, exit the station and follow the signs into the mountains. The secluded mountain path leads you to Hakone Yuryo.
✅You can also take a shuttle bus that goes directly to the entrance. We took the shuttle bus back to Hakone Yumoto Station.
First, go to the reception desk to complete the procedures, pay (only Japanese yen cash is accepted) to receive the locker key, yukata, and overcoat. Here, yukata is provided by default, and the staff will ask if you need an overcoat. Choose according to your needs. Then, they will present a paper similar to regulations to remind you of the precautions.
📝Tips for enjoying hot springs in Japan:
1. You must bathe in advance to keep your body clean before entering the hot spring pool.
2. You cannot wear or carry any clothing into the hot spring pool, including swimsuits. You must enter the pool naked.
3. People with tattoos are prohibited from entering the hot springs.
4. Do not use soap or other cleaning products in the hot spring pool.
5. If you have long hair, tie it up. Hair should not be immersed in the hot spring water.
6. Towels should not be immersed in the hot spring water to maintain its cleanliness and hygiene.

❤Please pay attention to the correct way to wear a Japanese yukata: the left side should be on top, with the left panel over the right panel. Do not reverse it, as wearing the right panel on top is the way for the deceased.
❤A reminder for those planning to enjoy the hot springs: be sure to make a reservation several days or even a month in advance. Do not wait until you are ready to go to make a reservation, as you may not be able to book a large room or choose the time slot.
​​Of course, if you are going to use the large mixed-gender pool, no reservation is needed.

One of the highlights of Hakone Gōra Park is its stunning collection of seasonal blooms, which transform the landscape into a kaleidoscope of colours throughout the year. In spring, cherry blossoms blanket the park in delicate pink hues, while in summer, vibrant azaleas and hydrangeas add a splash of colour to the lush greenery. In autumn, the foliage bursts into fiery shades of red, orange, and yellow, creating a breathtaking panorama that attracts visitors from near and far

Located near Lake Ashi in Hakone, this is an accommodation facility of the Prince Hotel chain.
The building is not new, but the interior does not feel old and was very clean.
The hotel is very spacious, and there are paths nearby for strolling as well.
The dinner was a buffet, but as expected of the Prince Hotel, the lineup was very luxurious.
From your room, you can enjoy the rich nature of Mount Fuji, Lake Ashi, and the trees of Hakone.
Also, since it is very close to Lake Ashi, I think it is a very good hotel for sightseeing.

Sitting on the mountaineering bus 🚌 in the morning, the road to the Doll House Art Museum was already windy 🌬️ . When we got off the car, it started raining and thick fog enveloped us. We were almost blown by the wind and rolled into the art museum
of
Then I dreamily stayed in this mini simulation world for over two hours, with three groups of guests before and after. I am very satisfied with the weather when visiting the Doll House Art Museum, which is completely a non realistic state.
All dollhouses are faithfully restored based on historical records. Sometimes, looking at the artworks created by human hands, I feel like I understand the true meaning of art in a daze Hakone root
Really love the weather and feel of Hakone Japan 🇯🇵
