5+4

The fifth day before we leave (Thursday 12th of August) was spent in SHIBUYA. Wow, thats' news. Akane had left for her other relatives and so it was just the two of us again -and it felt weird. We'd gotten used to Akane's presence, jokes and knowledge of Japan so quickly it was weird to not know where to go anymore. So we just wondered around Shibuya 109-2 and a few shopping streets (which Shibuya is full of) and went to purikura.

The fourth (Friday 13th) we went to Hakone, a traditional little town a few hours' trainride away from Tokyo. We met Akane and her aunt Tomoko at Hakone station (fashionably half-an-hour late... As we hadn't counted the extended stops to the amount of time we'd need to get there) and took a bus to go to an onsen where we spent the whole day. And a big thank you for Tomoko, who took us there, showed us around and payed for our lunch *ww*

Here's Hakone for you, people!

(My camera died pretty soon after we'd come and Akane is about a hundred kilometres away so you'll have to wait a while for more pictures.)
