In August, Chris and I spent 2 weeks in Japan. We visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Okayama, Hiroshima, Naoshima, Himeji, and then wrapped up in Hakone in the mountains before our last full day in Tokyo.    While many people just come here on a day trip from Tokyo, we spent 3 days here. And it was WELL worth it! We relaxed in our epic ryokan complete with its own private onsen, we went hiking, and we even did the Hakone Round Course.   3 days in Hakone was a great amount of time to get to know the area and enjoy being in nature while in Japan!   Check out the best things to do in Hakone, where to stay, and more in this podcast episode!   Relevant Links (may contain affiliate links, meaning if you make a purchase through these links, we earn a small commission-at no additional cost to you!): -Shinkansen High Speed Train: https://smart-ex.jp/en/lp/app/ -Ryokan Hakone Ginyu: https://tripadvisor.stay22.com/worldwidehoneymoon/5hMRu9RGIO -Hakone Free Pass: https://odakyu-global.com/passes/hakone-freepass/ -TikTok video I mentioned: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTreDa8kV/ -Hakone Open Air Museum: https://www.hakone-oam.or.jp/ -Coffee Shop: Café Ryusenkei   Traveling to France?
