Back in the rope way queue - it’s closing in an hour and people are STILL arriving in #Togendai (whereas this is about as late as I want to be LEAVING). Bit bemused by that. #Hakone

OK, time to sit and plan for a bit. With some suitable planning fuel of course. #Hakone #Togendai

I have to admit that the restaurant at #Togendai station has an efficient system set up - you order and pay at a touchscreen (with English menus as a clearly marked option), get tickets with a number and then…

Ok, I’m at #Togendai but I really don’t like my chances of doing the lake cruise AND being back before the ropeway closes - it’s already 2:10PM. So…. I shall indulge a bit and then head back
