箱根吟遊

宮ノ下駅から歩いて5分、

ここはまるで別世界。

日本の旅館よりバリのリゾート。


Hakoneginyu

Located just a five minute walk from Miyanoshita station,

Hakoneginyu is unlike any other Japanese inn.

A isolated world in its own, it feels more like a Bali resort.

National Geographic partnered with Google Earth on a project called Africa Megaflyover. The magazine has made more than 500 high-resolution images accessible through Google Earth, including this close-up view (Google Earth coordinates 15.298693,19.429661) of camels and their caretakers taking a water break in Nigeria.
