Japan day 5

Today we checked out of the hostel we were staying at for the last couple of days and headed to our next hostel near the onsens. We took a train to the end of the JR line I think... then had lunch though we had trouble looking for a place since we had our luggage with us. After lunch we bought more onigiri for our breakfast tomorrow as well as dinner for tonight... well I didn't buy dinner since we still had instant noodles left. We took another train to Hakone-Yuumoto and then we took a bus. The buses here have no problem going up hills o.o or maybe its just those buses... but still! o.o there were lots of curves as well! Not to mention a few houses I think? And convenience stores. Maaan Japan is awesome * 3* the bus was rather narrow though >__< same goes for the roads... everything is narrow! When we got up, we didn't know that there were shuttle buses so we walked up hill... WITH our luggage... > 3< so tiring! Might end up losing weight here in Japan instead of gaining weight XD the hostel had no elevators either! D: we were on the second floor and there were stairs everywhere! Anyway, we got to our rooms, got our swimwear ready and headed to Yuunesun's onsens. Amoz wanted to walk but the shuttle bus came so we took that instead..... Amoz and his walking... >__< I think my ankle's injured again... D: We paid for the entry and got cool wristbands :o they have sensors on them for you to use your lockers and buy stuff inside without having to take your wallet with you (although you'd have to pay for that when exiting...) and they made me confuse them for my watch XD we changed and we went into the normal pool which is just a big jacuzzi I'd say :p decided that it wasn't enough so we went to the commercial ones and it was all outdoors! There was lots of steam from the onsens so it wasn't too cold up there. There was coffee >__< red wine, green tea, sake, apple and a few normal ones. There was also some hot marble which was more warm than hot XD also a bath walk which just bathes your feet. There was a 'performance' for red wine and there was basically just 2 guys making an audience from outside the area (in Japan lol) welcome by pouring red wine on her shoulders and then her head. Then they talked a bit in Japanese and started pouring red wine into peoples' open hands. There was a Caucasian guy and he let the performer pour the rest of the wine on his face and head. The guys asked who wanted more and then made us shout for one more bottle of wine so that another guy would bring another bottle of wine. Lol. They entertained us while we waited and then there was another round of pouring wine on us... it was fun I guess XD Then we sat in a few more before going to get the camera to take photos. After taking photos, we went and showered and got changed. Then we headed back to our hostel with the shuttle bus. We went to cook our dinners... but there was no pot! Or bowls >__< there wasn't anything but hot/cold water in the kitchen D: so I waited for Amoz to finish his dinner so I could cook the instant noodles... cup noodles style~ I had 2 buns while waiting and drank lots of water... felt a but bloated after that but I think I haven't had enough water lately so it's okay. After dinner we looked up how to get to our next place of accommodation and confirmed what time we're checking out. I felt tired so I blogged and got ready to sleep... also, this place has no internet at all... but good thing it was only for one day... = 3=
