To get to Hakone, you take a normal train out of Tokyo, then hop aboard this superslow train that creaks up the mountain to a gondola station. You then run from the train to the gondola, because the rest of the train is trying to get on the same gondola you are, and it can take a couple of hours to get the whole train into the air. The gondola, which you can see in the mountain photo if you have really good eyes, goes quite a far distance among the mountains, and stops a few times. But be warned, if you get off on an intermediate stop, you'll never get back on since nobody else will get off so you'll never find an empty gondola to resume your journey. the gondola eventually terminates in Hell, pictured here. This area stinks of sulphur, and looks about to explode any minute. You can walk around on raised platforms to see (and smell) Hell up close, and buy eggs cooked in the inferno.
