Hakone shrine. The moss on the ground and trees just made this shrine so much different from other shrines that I've been to. The fog and rain was a great addition to the look and feel too. It was almost like I can see ghostly images walking around as if I was looking back in time at lives of people that passed through here before. Maybe I let my imagination go off a little too much.....whew!
The fog that covered Lake Ashi was good and bad. Because of it, I couldn't see Mt. Fuji. But because of it, the lake was very pretty with nothing but white floating above it. Riding on this pirate ship through the fog was too cool!
