On our annual mission with our business partners from Tokyo Mach 55(Ms Miura and Mr Hasegawa) we set off this year to Hakone to go for Onsen(Hot Spring Baths). On arrival we set straight off as it was clear further up the mountains to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji in all its clear glory, the Wine Onsen rung a chord with my Tokyo night hangover. The most amazing experience this year was listening to the earth groan, every so often there would be thunderous booms coming from the mountains as if they were warning of some impending doom. The onsen was beautiful all prepared for the forthcoming business year again..
