Hakone |
Hakone National Park is a beautiful area
with view of Mt. Fuji. It is an easy day trip from Tokyo, although
overnight is recommended to really see the sites. The unique think about
Hakone is how to get there. It is highly recommended to take the Hakone
Circle tour. This consists of:
- From Tokyo take the Odakyu Line from Shinjuku
to Hakone Yumoto, or
- For JR Railpass holders, From Tokyo take the
Tokaido Shinkansen Kodama service to Odawara, then take Odakyu to
Hakone Yumoto, or if running, take the Hakone Tozen to Gora
- From Hakone Yumoto take the switch-back tram
line, Hakone Tozen to Gora.
- At Gora take the Incline railway to transfer
to the Hakone Ropeway
- From the Ropeway board a "pirate" ship to
Hakone-moto, or Hakone Machi.
- From their reverse course, or take a bus ride
back.
