  • Hakone (From Shinjuku)
    TOKYO DAY 3 – DAY TRIP TO HAKONE (FROM SHINJUKU) BUYING TICKETS ODAKYU SIGHTSEEING SERVICE CENTER, SHINJUKU STATION I recommend getting your tickets 1-2 days before your trip, and check the weather forecast ahead of time. Two things I recommend purchasing from here: The Hakone Freepass (5140 Yen): This gives you unlimited access (over 2 days, I believe) to almost all methods of transportation in Hakone—at least the ones that I talk about in this guide. There are a couple of buses that you won’t be able to take, but all the touristy places you’ll definitely be able to get to with this pass. I never did the math to see if you actually save any money, but I think it’s worth it just for the convenience. It saves you from having to purchase individual tickets as you go, and given the number of times you’ll be hopping on and off different trains/buses/etc., having the freepass just makes getting around faster Limited Express Add-On for Odakyu’s Romancecar (890 Yen one way): Highly recommend getting this upgrade. The Hakone Freepass gets you a ride on a local train to Hakone-Yumoto, but it’s not direct (you have to switch trains at some point) AND it takes 30 minutes longer. With the Romancecar, you have reserved seats, it’s a much more comfortable ride, and you’ll be there in 1-1.5 hours. 2 TOURING HAKONE 1. ROMANCECAR FROM SHINJUKU TO HAKONE-YUMOTO Pretty self-explanatory…if you get lost trying to find the train platform, just ask anyone at the station—they’re always willing to help.
