Before purchasing the Hakone freepass, please ask for the Hakone freepass brochure and read the fine print on the bottom of the front page. There is a rule that says, "The Hakone Freepass (including those valid for multiple days) cannot be used after returning to your departure station." Basically, the freepass is encourages people to stay in Hakone to fully benefit from it. It doesn't matter if two or three days pass once you return back to Shinjuku station, the freepass cannot be reused again. In our case the station staff took away our two-day pass which was only used for one day. Anyway, I think I should put it out there to let everyone know there is a rule they need to know about it. Love your videos.
Thank you for your comment. Since the autumn foliage season can get quite crowded, make sure to plan your time accordingly, especially for the evening bus. Have a great trip!
Thanks for the recommendation, I have a question, Did you stay in Hakone or return to Tokyo? Do you know if Hakone free pass include the transportation for 2 days or only one day?
Thank you for your comment. You might already know this, but don't miss the Tsutsuji Garden at Hotel de Yama (near Hakone Shrine) if you're in Hakone in May. Bus tours are common in Japan. In May, Japan often enjoys sunny and pleasant days. On warmer days, temperatures can reach around 25°C, making short sleeves suitable. Hakone may be a bit cooler than Tokyo. Since there aren't many clothing or umbrella shops around, it's useful to have a foldable umbrella, long sleeves, and a lightweight jacket with you, just in case. Wishing you a wonderful journey!

是非 箱根を楽しんで下さい。
Gracias por sus recomendaciones, las tomare en cuenta para mi próximo viaje
Great sharing. Thanks
Thank you for this informative video. Which area is the best to stay for a 2day visit- to ensure we are close to most landmarks.
日本が海外から人気なのは
治安の良さ 街が清潔 トイレも多機能で清潔 文化や歴史がある事
アニメや漫画などのポップカルチャーも人気。鉄道の発達と時間に正確な事。
そして食事も多様性があり美味しいこと。
もし治安が悪く食事がイマイチなら旅をしてもあまり楽しめないと思う。
箱根はむかしから高級リゾート地です。文化も歴史もあります。
