On Day 4, we took a train up to Hakone Yumoto which is the starting point to see Mt Fuji and also a point to start if you want to visit the famous Gotemba factory outlet selling branded apparel and bags at factory discounted prices. 
We sat in the Odakyu Romancecar which has couple loveseats. The unique thing about the seats is also that they can be electrically rotated 360 degrees to face the train direction.
We had an early breakfast and enjoyed the train ride tremendously and it was so comfortable, we slept half the journey instead of admiring the scenery. When we reached Hakone Yumoto, the weather was quite bad and rainy. 
(Above) After seeking advice from the Tourist Information centre, we decided to head back to Tokyo.

We decided to change our plans and head back to Tokyo for what else..more shopping. That's the benefit of free and easy!
