One day before Christmas Eve, I drove with colleagues on a day trip to Hakone in Kanagawa Prefecture.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, we looked at Japan’s longest suspension bridge, where you also have a beautiful view of Mount Fuji, which is a World Heritage Site as I not mentioned it before.<\/span> This bridge is 400 meters long and has a maximum distance of 70.6 meters to the ground.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also something to eat again;) These are Dango’s, also based on rice. They were dipped in a hot syrup consisting of sugar, soy sauce and mirin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And again sake. This is Amasake, a low-alcohol or alcohol free and sweet sake variant. This one was „totemo oishii desu“! Very tasty and there were still many rice grains included.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also visited the Ashi Lake, which is a crater lake and therefore surrounded by mountains. Unfortunately, from our spot we did not have a view of the Tori of the Hakone shrine, which stood directly on the water. There is also a tourist ferry, in the style of a pirate ship.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next was \u014cwakudani’s turn, the „great boiling valley“. This is a valley with many boiling springs at Kamiyama, which itself is part of the volcano Hakone.<\/span> The area is volcanically active and had increased activity in 2015 as well.<\/span> The area is now partially open for public again. Because of the gases in the air, the smell of sulfur is easily noticed.<\/span> Because of this, the floor at the volcano openings is already quite yellow.<\/span> It is also known because of the Kuro-tamago, the black eggs.<\/span> The eggs are cooked in the hot onsen and the shell is colored black by sulfates and iron oxides.<\/span> I have not bought or eaten and I have learned only afterwards that an egg is said to have a life-prolonging effect of 7 years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On our way back we stopped in Numazu, again in Shizuoka prefecture. <\/span>There we then looked at the deep-sea aquarium, which is the only one (self-proclaimed) that has specialized so much on deep-sea organisms. <\/span>One reason is that Suruga Bay is right on the doorstep. <\/span>This is also in front of the city of Shizuoka and the reason why swimming is prohibited there. <\/span>It’s too fast too deep down. <\/span>The lowest point is at 2500 m and includes a large selection of marine life. <\/span>The other reason is that it is not easy to keep the creatures of the deep sea. <\/span>For example, a squid that also serves as a mascot here is very sensitive and photos are forbidden (but I photographed the board). <\/span>In the beginning they could only hold him for 3 days, after that he died. <\/span>Here they have managed to extend the lifetime to 52 days, with the right feeding and other measures. No <\/span>here are only uncommented a selection of pictures.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end we went to eat in a local assosiated (fish) burger restaurant. I chose a teriyaki burger (chicken). The right-hand burger is a deep-sea shark burger that I did not want to eat because I did not know what a shark died because of it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
