Walking along the iconic ancient Road of Tokaido in Hakone, I saw the spirits of the trees living in the forest ! These shapes of faces in the trees are everywhere. They may look a bit spooky but they protect the forest and are nice hiking mates.
Then, I would like to thank my friend Tony Everitt, aka Mr Tokaido, who took me along the way. He manages Hike Hakone Hashiri, a hiking tour company to take visitors on the Road Tokaido. Great guy. Arigato Gozaimasu Tony.
