Today in #japanadventures a visit to the Landmark Tower to see the Ghibli shop and the Lego shop. Also a dog, that you can sit on.

The crucial thing to understand about this picture is that the tower in the distance has a Lego store. #japanadventures

Yesterday in #japanadventures a pirate ship, some severed swan heads, an oddly parked car, and some roast beef.

Previously on #japanadventures a giant beetle, tiny pineapples, a stressed parent, and a mysterious chest. #gorapark

Have stopped for afternoon tea in Hakone Gora Park on account of it’s hot and everything in this bit of Japan is uphill. Mine came in a glass with a stirrer. The wife’s drink came with a teeny hourglass. Also, ice cream with a Sakura sauce (tastes like cherry blossoms), was epic.

Ahhh, breakfast. #japanadventures

@G0rri1a Not all mine you’ll be glad to hear 😄

We had sushi, then, after getting slightly lost, green tea ice cream. #japanadventures

Currently enjoying a trendy coffee shop, so as you can imagine, I fit right in wearing my LUG hoodie and sensible shoes. Nice coffee though. #japanadventures

Going further into the mountains we went to Gora. Where we took a cable car over an opencast sulphur mine on an active volcano, looked at some souvenir’s, then went for lunch. #japanadventures

You know you’re not in Darlo anymore when broccoli is on the breakfast buffet. Luckily there were cornflakes too. Landscape for .. reasons. #japanadventures

@Jooky85 Kinda, those bundles on the left are futon. You roll them out and sleep on them. The mattress part is only about 5cm thick so it’s like sleeping on the floor.

After the second bath of the afternoon it is time to go to bed. Where are the beds? You ask. That is a very good question. #japanadventures

Dinner at the hotel was a buffet. The plate had 9 segments, which, if I’m honest feels more like a target. Was also forced to drink beer by my father-in-law. And forced to eat dessert (not pictured) by my brother-in-law. #japanadventures

Clearest view of Mount Fuji we’ve had so far.

[M W D @mwdanforth]

@Jooky85 @clocksontv It was mint like.
