私の日本旅行：第5日

4日ごでどこか東京の外が見に行くと思って私の観光ガイドに箱根が勧められたので、そこへ行くことがした。そうしたら、新幹線が乗らなくてはいけなかった！こだまでしたから最高な早い新幹線ではないが、なおとっても早くて劇的でした！駅弁も美味しかった。

箱根で来た時にはすごく素敵な町だった！見て回るだけでとても楽しい時があった。素敵な喫茶店にも行ったと、美味しい抹茶味のかき氷を食べた。また食べたい！でも、町でそんなに長い時が経っていたから山を上っているために時が尽くし始めている。だから、駅に戻って山の電車が乗った。スイッチバックが乗ったことがないと楽しかった。光景もすごい！ロープウェイも乗ったことがないと素晴らしいです！そんなに遅いから一人で（日の最終の旅客でした！）、また大涌谷はとっても面白い光景でした（面白い匂いも！）。でも、一番の光景は富士山です。とても遠いとちょっと朦朧けどとってもすごい光景でした！あっと驚いたといつも忘れない。

遅すぎるから船の芦ノ湖は日に止まった。だから、バスを乗るまでに湖畔でしばらく歩いていた。美しい湖です！小田原までバスが乗ったけど、そこからすぐに東京へ戻らなかった。まず小田原でちょっと見て回っていた。夜で城の辺りは美しかった（カエルの鳴く音も愉快でした）。ついに、晩御飯に寿司屋（美味しかった！）に行ってまた新幹線でホテルへ戻った。

After four days, I thought I'd go to somewhere outside Tokyo and my guidebook recommended Hakone, so I decided to go there. So, because of that, I needed to ride the bullet train! It was the Kodama, so it wasn't the fastest bullet train, but it was still very quick and exciting! And the ekiben was tasty, too.

When I arrived in Hakone, it was a lovely town! I had a very fun time just looking around. I went into a lovely café, too and had a a delicious matcha flavoured shaved ice. I want to eat it again! I spent such a long time in the town, though, I was starting to run our of time for going up the mountains. So I went back to the station and got on the mountain train. I've never ridden a switchback train before, and it was fun. The views were amazing, too! I also hadn't ridden a ropeway before, either and it was incredible! Because it was so late, I was by myself (the last passenger of the day!), and Owakudani was a very interesting sight (the smell was interesting too!). But, the number one view was Mount Fuji. It was very far and a little hazy, but it was such an amazing view! It took my breath away and I'll never forget it.

Because it was too late, the Lake Ashi boat had stopped for the day. So because of that, I walked around the shore for a while until I caught the bus. It's a beautiful lake! I rode the bus to Odawara, but didn't immediately go back to Tokyo from there. First, I looked around Odawara a little. The area around the castle was beautiful at night (and the frogs' croaking was a pleasant sound, too). In the end, I went to a sushi restaurant for dinner (it was delicious!) and, on the bullet train again, headed back to my hotel.
