Final ryokan breakfast
Last yukata moment. Pack up. Goodbye to Hakone.
Last ryokan breakfast, Hakone Tozan rail back down to Odawara, Shinkansen west to Kyoto. Bags are already at MIMARU Kyoto waiting. Easy evening — Kamo River walk, food-hall dinner.
Last yukata moment. Pack up. Goodbye to Hakone.
Buy ekiben (station bento) on the platform — that's lunch. Try to get right-side window seats for Mt. Fuji views around Mishima.
Big bags from Tokyo are already here (forwarded Day 5). Drop the overnight bags, change clothes, take a breath.
Easy 15-min walk from the hotel. Stepping stones, herons, kids playing on the riverbank. Sunset over the western hills.
Easy night. Either the Ramen Koji food hall at Kyoto Station (8 ramen shops in a row, kid-friendly) or wander Pontocho's narrow lane for something atmospheric.
