Japan Trip Day 4 - Breakfast -> Gora Station -> Checked out -> Gotemba Premium Outlet -> Togendai

Took a last dip in the private hotspring before breakfast.
Today, we had Japanese Breakfast in the restaurant


Mackerel set

What a spread!

Salmon set

Miso Soup

After breakfast, took a walk around Gora Station. Some shops had opened for business.







Bus Stop 2


Checked out and took the 9.40am Hakone Tozan bus at Bus stop 2 opposite hotel to Gotemba Premium Outlet.

After a certain area after a tunnel, you could get a very good view of Mount Fuji with many houses at its foot.
Surprisingly, reached the Outlet in less than an hour. It was cloudly today so Mt Fuji could not be seen at all from the outlet. Gotemba Outlet is the best place to view Mt Fuji. No view though since it was very cloudy that day.
Gotemba Premium Outlet. Upon arrival, chucked our backpacks in the lockers before going shopping. Lockers use 100yen coins.






No view of Mt Fuji due to cloudy day

East Side





Maple Leaves

Did some shopping and had lunch at food court.
Curry Rice

Chicken, egg and Rice

Crazy crepes



My daughter bought one

At around 2pm, we took the free shuttle to Tomei Gotemba.


Inside the free shuttle bus

The Odakyu highway bus was already at the bus stop. We ran and got on the bus after the driver confirmed our destination.
Reached Togendai slightly after 40mins before taking the ropeway to Obaku and walking to the Green Plaza Hakone Hotel via a shortcut (not proper path). Checked in hotel.
