Hakone Japan 2024 Travel Guide 🇯🇵 what to do, eat, see

[@lucasstone243]

Another banger of a video from Happy Hapa, thank you for this. That trail looked arduous but the misty views were enchanting. That burger at the end looked perfect too, and must've tasted even better with the best sauce of all: hunger.

[@happy_hapa]

Yes the atmosphere of the forest made that hike worth it! It wouldn't have been as hard if it weren't so muddy 🙈

[@JIN_XIAO]

Wow! The view is so nice! I will go to Hakone with my friends this Friday. Cannot wait to visit it!

[@happy_hapa]

Yay have a great time Jin!

[@floagudelo184]

[@happy_hapa]

[@stickmanjournal]

Great video, I really enjoy the vibes! The shots, music, and little commentary making the video so relaxing. I will be going to Hakone in a couple months. I hope I can enjoy it as you guys did!

[@happy_hapa]

[@MRwiteoutt]

[@happy_hapa]

[@paulreichardt3437]

Great Vlog! But in Germany we call the „hike“ you took a short walk 😅😂

[@happy_hapa]

wow I'm humbled and will not attempt any real hikes in Germany hahaha

[@sumansaurabh8045]

Such a pleasant trip. thanks for sharing, will definitely want to have Hakone on my itinerary along with all the places you guys visited. The trail that you guys took, was the green mist a natural effect or is it an edit? Cuz it looks so dreamy and mesmerizing. :P

[@happy_hapa]

Hope you enjoy your trip! That's what the forest really looked like, it was such a dreamy view despite us sliding around in the mud for hours haha

[@sumansaurabh8045]

@@happy_hapa Hahah, sliding through the mud along with scare of bears around must have been crazy!! XD

[@madisonsmith4436]

What was the name of that beautiful place you stayed in Hakone??

[@happy_hapa]

Yoshiike Ryokan!

[@MelissaCanu-g5h]

Would love to do a similar route as this - Could you provide your transportation route to/from each stop in the video? That would be super helpful.

[@happy_hapa]

We purchased the Hakone Freepass which covers all transportation required to do the route. There's lots of signs telling you how to get from one point to the other, if you just search that you should see a map!

[@kmptan13]

Is there a lesser crowd when you go the clockwise route vs the counter clockwise route on the loop?

[@happy_hapa]

Slightly but I don't think it makes much of a difference, just made more sense for us to start our day in Gora vs. end it

[@Yayanaidu]

Where is this bamboo forest exactly located in hakone? I am looking for it on the maps and I can’t find it

[@happy_hapa]

It's part of the Enoura Observatory, a modern art museum
