St Patrick's day parade at Motomachi


I enjoyed St Patrick's day parade held at Motomachi on March 16.
Motomachi is dog friendly shopping street.

Well behaved Irish setters strolled around Motomachi street.

If you love Guiness, you would be excited to see this.

Over night trip to Hakone 箱根への一泊旅行

Image
  Hakone Over night trip to Hakone is famous for citizen in Yokohama. It takes about 90 -120 minutes from Yokohama by train.  So if we work at the office until 4pm, we would check in the hotel by dinner time.   To check ETA, I use Norikae Annai (Route Search Japan Transit planner). 横浜市民にとって、箱根は身近な観光地です。仕事が終わってから、電車に乗って箱根湯本に向かっても、横浜から1時間半位で到着するからです。私はJRでなく小田急で箱根に向かうので、交通費も安いです。 Hotel  There are a lot of hotels at Hakone.  My favorite hotel is Hotel Maille Coueur （ホテルマイユクール祥月）.  It takes about 12 minute on foot from Hakone Yumoto station.  I chose this hotel as dinner and breakfast is good and room is clean.  箱根湯本に午後５時半位に到着するので、箱根湯本にあるマイユクール祥月に宿泊しました。このホテルは女性向きの心遣いがあり、食事がとてもおいしいです。 箱根湯本の駅周辺は、店じまいが早いです。ホテルの食事時間が７時半位だと、小腹が空くかも知れません。でも夕飯の量は（女性には）たっぷりあるので、何も食べないでおく方がいいと思います。 チーズと生ハム 一口サイズで色々な物が出てきます。 写真がうまく取れなかったのですが、デザートの分量がたっぷりあります。 ホテルの値段は、じゃらんなどで調べられますが、食事の良さと部屋の広さを考えるとコスパが高いホテルだと思います。私たちは１泊1.5万円位で泊まりました。
