Lake Ashi Pirate Ship
As part of the “Hakone Round Course” you get to ride in a ferry boat across Lake Ashi. If you are lucky you will also have a clear view of Mt. Fuji.
My daughter thought we were unlucky because even though we had a view of Mt. Fuji we weren’t on the above pirate-looking ship. Instead, we were on a regular looking ferry boat. I explained to her that, no, we were the lucky ones as we had a view of the pirate ship and those on the pirate ship only had a view of a regular looking ferry boat. She didn’t buy that explanation.
If you click on the above picture to have it fill your screen you can see that it is called “ビクトリー” or “Victory.”
