"Hakone" lies nestled in the midst of beautiful "Mt. Fuji - Hakone - Izu" National Park, in southwestern Kanagawa prefecture in Japan. All Japan Pro Wrestling's gaijin (foreign) wrestler / gaijin talent coordinator, Johnny "Ace" Laurinaitis, and his father visited and relaxed in Hakone on Friday, April 30. More than 20 million tourists from foreign countries as well as from all over Japan have visited Hakone every year. The electric train, named "Romance car" of the Odakyu Line (Odakyu is a major Tokyo-area railway) took them to Hakone resort district from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo in 100 minutes. Then, they took a ride on the mountain trolley, the cable car, the ropeway, and the sail on Lake Ashinoko, a slender lake formed in the Hakone caldera some 400,000 years ago, on a pirate boat. Lake Ashinoko. The place affords a magnificent view of Mt. Fuji. There are several hot springs in the area. Take a look at these exclusive pictures for View From The Rising Sun and Rob's Wrestling World.
