Around Tokyo: Hakone and Nikko

Within travelling distance from Tokyo, one finds Hakone, which is famous for its hot springs and is a popular day out for Japanese living in Tokyo. Here's a photo of a cemetery in Hakone and of a group of school kids waiting for the bus to come. Another nice visit from Tokyo is Nikko, where we stayed for a weekend in a Japanese youth hostel. On this page, you'll find a picture from a pagoda in Nikko.

As in Britain, Japanese kids wear school uniforms.
Note how disciplined these little ones already are:
they formed a neat queue before entering
the school bus.
