The trip was perfect, everything went as smooth as it could possibly be. Also relaxing in the Hakone hot spring was really amazing. Still can't believe that the water there is naturally heated thanks to the nearby volcano! We didn't have to worry about anything all the way. Thank you, Firebird, for making my dream come true!
