{Hakone Ryonkan Stay}

We left Tokyo city n stayed in Hakone for a night. It was a shiokalicious experience!

We stayed at a Ryokan, traditional japanese hotel, Yeikan.

We were a lil disappointed when we arrived.

Looks like nobody's there. Very quiet. Looks quite small from the exterior. For the amt we paid for a one night stay, our hearts sank.

But once we were shown to our 'Stateroom with attached onsen with mountain view' we were happy like little kids! It's like living in ur very own traditional Japanese house with an onsen n shower area downstairs. We had our own dining room, where dinner n breakfast was served to us in there. Slept in futon mattresses which were surprisingly comfortable. Dinner was a feast. So was breakfast. We loved this room. Went to the onsen so many times!

There is however one major set back. The aircon in our room would 'growl' randomly at night. It kept M up the whole night. I slept right thru.

Other than that, it was an awesome experience!
