Despite being bullied by Hakone, Rion can still smile. He's my hero!

Dear Rion, you are such a positive personality, pure role model. The Hakone birthday adventure was really shocking from the late night changing the room, less sleep in the very first hours of your Birthday, then for you challinging ropeway rides, smelly volcanic inferno with experiencing a specially boiled only outside "black" egg up to the unfortunatelly cancelled special rapid train to Shunjuku. The fancy breakfast at the hotel in spite of yours cute sleepyness and the special birthday lunch with beer at the Gotenba Outlet overlooking the Mt. Fuji were highlights of your special day and you will for sure remember it forever. The Outlet itself is a nice place to visit even if you are not a brand addicted person. After a cloudy or even misty morning the sunshine during the rest of the day improved the atmosphere. In the end everything is fine that ends well, for you have safelly reached crowded Shinjuku Station. Thanks so much for enabling us to joyn your Birthday Trip. It was quite an experience. Let's keep on walking! GAOOOO...

You show such resilience when things go wrong! Taking a break, having a coffee, and making the best of the situation. Plus I loved seeing the countryside out the window of the local train. Saiko! Happy birthday!

Thanks for the 2-episodes videos Rion! I think it wasn't that bad the train had cancelled, as long as you still able to get back to Shinjuku via another train / other options. After all you got to enjoy different views and spent longer time with the beautiful sceneries too. All good! Looking forward to your Fantasy Springs visit videos !

First of all, Happy Birthday Rion! Last year me and my GF took almost the same trip as you, just reverse. 😃 Hakone-Yumoto, Gora, Owakudani then the pirate ship was our tour. It was very nice and nostalgic to see it again in your videos. Thank you. Besides your hotel and train cancellation I think you had a great and beautiful tour. 😉 Keep walking Rion!

So glad you had a great birthday trip to Hakone (after the bad start and bad end). Your visit was very quiet. I visited Hakone on my birthday last November and it was very busy. One hour wait for the ropeway! It was great to re-live my adventure again with your video. It is amazing to see and hear all the sounds of Japan again. It is such a long way from the UK, but i will return again one day soon. Thank you Rion.
Hakone looks amazing. 🤩 There were so many beautiful views of Mt Fuji in this video too! 🏔️

Hi, happy birthday Rion🎉. Your trip in Hakone had its ups and downs but overall very interesting. The gondola trips were really scary for me and I wasn’t even riding it. You also were lucky to see Mt Fuji which I thought was exciting. I really enjoy watching your videos and learn so much about these locations. So enjoy your birthday and look forward to many more travels😊

On my first trip to Japan in 2012 my friend took me out to Hakone and it was awesome. SO last year I decided to make the trip by myself from Tokyo, alone. It was a long day but it was really cool to navigate all that way by myself and just enjoy the trip. Also, Happy birthday!

What a day-from kanpai with the majestic Mount Fuji 🍻 (I’ll never get tired of this view 🤩) to a sudden stressful situation back to Shinjuku (as one who is less familiar with the transportation system and much less competent with the language, I’d totally panic 😖). This reminds me of one of your favorite quotes-I smile not because I’m happy; I’m happy because I smile 😊 No matter what high highs or low lows are coming up in this next year, let’s keep walking… and smiling!

You should have taken the bus from Gotemba going straight to Shinjuku. That's the route we took going back to Tokyo. Although I don't know which one is cheaper. Looks like what you took was a very cheap ride. Might do it the next time we visit Gotemba.
