Dear Sir/Madame,

Hello from Akiko Yamada of Shukado.

First of all, there is a holideay notice.
In Japan there are national holidays in the end of April and in the beginning of May.
We are afraid that we are closing from 28th April to 6th May.
For those who inquire by e-mail or phone, we will give you a reply after 7th May.
Thank you for your understanding.

By the way, we call the holidays "golden week" and one of the best chances of enjoying travel.
Today I introduce good place for one day trip from Tokyo, Japan.
That is Hakone where it takes 1 hour and a half by train.
It is famous for its' beautiful view and hot springs.
You can enjoy gorges and mountains clothed in verdure from cable car.

There is a local specialty in Hakone.
They are boiled eggs but they are not just boiled eggs.
They are black boiled eggs!

Black boiled eggs are made by chemical reaction of hot spring.

Hakone also is famous for its' view of Mt. Fuji.
The views were depicted as many Ukiyo-e.
