I’d completed Hakone loop the day before. Today’s post will share what I did on Day 2 in Hakone. Obviously, one day is not enough to fully explore and embrace Hakone, an onsen town located 2 hours from Tokyo.

If you like a chronological flow of my 9-day Tokyo solo trip, check out
After a fruitful morning enjoying the sights at Asakusa, we are moving on to Ueno to see what this district offers. Ueno, an area located in the same NE region of Tokyo (and near my base in Tokyo) is definitely worth visiting if you enjoy park, temples and street food.

You’ll see me splitting my time equally between Asakusa and Ueno districts, both of which are located near where I stayed in the North-eastern part of Tokyo (@Akihabara).
