Woke up early in the morning coz we gotta go to Tsukiji (築地) for sushi. It was just 15 minutes away from our hotel by train to Tsukiji Station (築地駅). Quite convenient.

Headed back to hotel to take our luggage coz we gonna catch the Romancecar to Hakone. Did lots of research from this website. Very useful!
After half an hour train, we arrived at Shinjuku Station (新宿駅). We bought a 3-day Hakone pass (5500 Yen). It included all the transportation and discount for some tourist attractions. But if you wanna take the Romancecar, you gotta pay 870 Yen more. Reasonable coz it was an hour faster than taking a normal train. I sent an e-mail to reserve 2 observatory seats. The view was fantastic!

 |
| light refreshment on the train (400 Yen) |
Arrived at Odawara Station (小田原駅) at around 6:30pm. Took a bus to hotel. Got off at 塔之沢. Our hotel 一之湯 was just within 5 minutes walk. We booked 2 nights there from the official website directly and altogether it costed HKD6,500 including the stay, one Japanese tranditional style dinner and 2 breakfasts. A bit expensive coz it was during Christmas holiday. But I think it worths as it was spacious, cozy and convenient. There was a private hotspring inside our room as well!

Unlike Tokyo, this little town was not as hectic as there and shops and restaurants closed early in Hakone. We just bought some snacks and cup noodles from 7-11 for dinner. Enjoyed the public bath and private hotspring as well. Spent a relaxing night there.
