These videos are perfect. Seriously perfect. The upgrades on your website and communication is going to ensure you stay the best source for Japanese Tourism.
i've been using your website for over 3 years now and found it very useful, these videos are extremely amazing as i never considered visiting hakone till now, things look so much nicer from a video perspective than text/pictures
Went to Hakone day albefore yesterday...The most wanted place to go.As for me I wanted to go so long...and succeed.One of the most beautiful place to travel in Japan..Highly recommend!!😍
I went to Hakone earlier this year (2019) and two of my favorite spots were the Pola Museum of Art which was both 1) a great art museum and 2) an amazing piece of architecture, as well as the Lalique Museum Hakone which had some amazing pieces of design. The Venetian Glass Museum was a major tourist trap, but by and large the museums there are great and you can get a pass at any of them that will let you visit some number (5?) for a discount fee. On top of the natural beauty and relaxing Ryokan, it was an amazing trip.
This is what I needed, every other video is in the city, only about food, video games and other weird and waste of time itineraries. All this nature and tradition is its true essence, thank you for this video!
Unfortunately, a big typhoon (Hagibis) hit right before were scheduled to go there so the natural hot springs weren't available as well as the trains. Luckily we were able to rent a car so we were able to go there. Make sure to visit outside of the typhoon season if you can!
We got engaged at the lookout next to the Detached Palace. Romantic spot with a great view of the lake, pirate ships, mountains and, just at the perfect moment, Mt Fuji appeared from its cloud cover at sunset in all its glory. Arigato, Fuji-san! The palace gardens are well worth the walk to see the view and it is just a short and pretty walk from Motohakone along the lakeside, with wonderful views of the Shrine’s Torii gate. A really great spot which we will always remember.
Lake Ashinoko is beautiful, but I strongly recommend the following. First, bring your mosquito repellent and wear long sleeves. Second, don’t get a bite at the places around the Togendai docks. Wait until the boats bring you around (or back) to the Hakonemachi side, where there are some far, far better little restaurants once you walk a few blocks away from the landing.
Hi, do you think I can go to owakudani, checkpoint, amazake chaya, and cruise lake ashi in one day if i'll be going back to shinjuku in the afternoon? hope you read this. thanks in advance!
If you are going by rental car then this should be doable. If you are going by public transportation it will take much longer but it is theoretically possible.
If you do rent a car and drive, don't do it on a weekend as National Route 1is likely to be bumper to bumper. If you want to do it in one day from Tokyo/Shinagawa, consider taking the train to Odawara and riding your bike up to Ashinoko via the old road and down Route 1. Check the Strava Heat Map for GPS tracks.
Good question. From Moto-Hakone there are buses to Mishima, Atami and Odawara Stations. From any of these you can get on the Tokaido shinkansen to Kyoto. You can also take the Tozan Railway to Odawara. Here is a page with more detailed information about getting between Hakone and Kyoto which you might find useful: www.japan-guide.com/e/e5206.html?aFROM=2158_5200
Hi i will be in japan tokyo from the 14th of febuary and thinking to pass one day in Hakone.. let's say half day i pass it visiting the open air museum, picasso pavillon... what to you suggest me for the evening?
@@japanguide so i guess i won't make in time to do Old tokaido road & checkpoint in the evening and then go back in tokyo if i pass the morning at the open air museum, correct? Thanks for eventually answering :)
I have heard from numerous people that the wait time for the ropeway is super long. If I use a Hakone Free pass on a Wednesday this coming August,going from the opposite direction (Togendai Station to Owakudani Station), How much time should I alot for the wait time at around 11am-noon? How long will the wait be from Owakudani to Sounzan around 3pm? Thank you for your guidance!
The Odakyu "Romance Car" train takes about 90min from Shinjuku station while the Odakyu highway bus is about 2 hours. Here's more info on how to access Hakone: www.japan-guide.com/e/e5206.html
going to go to a ryokan in hakone from osaka....whats the best way to get there? we will have a jr pass so if a shinkansen can get us close by, that info would be great.
One of the most efficient ways is to take the Tokaido shinkansen (Kodama or some Hikari) to Mishima and then take a bus to Moto-Hakone. Here is much more detailed information about getting between Hakone and Osaka that you might find useful: www.japan-guide.com/e/e5206.html?aFROM=2157_5200
There is rarely a bad time to visit Hakone and winter should be a good time to enjoy the warm hot springs. Most likely there will be some snow, but the average low temperature for Hakone in February is just above freezing so there's a chance it will be cold without snow. Hope that helps, have a good trip!
Its possible to visit all year around! During the winter months you might have a higher change of viewing mount Fuji, since the air is crisp and its often not as cloudy!
Hakone would be much better in sunny days. Unfortunately, this video was taken in a worse condition. Hakone usually enjoys its comfortable weathers in the Pacific Ocean side of Japan.

Perfect and interesting! I have been to Hakone, but it was long time ago. Your video serves as a nostalgic Hakone tour for me...doomo arigatoo !
Awesome video! Went there during Autumn 2019. Amazing place to watch falls foliage.
Nice!Is the foliage already in october or is it later?And how much time would you recommand someone to stay there to visit Hakone?

This was amazingly beautiful work n places..just wow.. good job friend .. ✌👌😇
If you like plants and to see a nature of Hakone more, you should see Shisseikaen, the outdoor botanical garden.
Really enjoy your videos. Interesting and full of great information. Thank you.
Very informative video. I have plan to visit japan

Excellent video, I made up my mind on what to see and do. Arigato!

can you advise please how you get around to all of these sights in Hakone if you are travelling on a day trip from Tokyo?
Hi i will be in japan tokyo from the 14th of febuary and thinking to pass one day in Hakone.. let's say half day i pass it visiting the open air museum, picasso pavillon... what to you suggest me for the evening?
The area around Hakone-Yumoto station would provide plenty of dining options and also has trains that go directly to Tokyo.

I will be in Japan on February. Do you think it's a good session to visit Hakone? There is snow or rain there in February?
There is rarely a bad time to visit Hakone and winter should be a good time to enjoy the warm hot springs. Most likely there will be some snow, but the average low temperature for Hakone in February is just above freezing so there's a chance it will be cold without snow. Hope that helps, have a good trip!
Is it possible to do everyrhing in one day ?
I did it as a daytrip from Tokyo. But would recommend to stay over for a night to include Odawara and enjoy a onsen overnight
Hakone Yuryo is still not tattoo-friendly. Is there a possibility that you can make a Video about Tattoo-friendly onsen?
How do you get free day pass
I think you get it by JTB or perhaps a search on RUclips could help
How does one get from Hakone to Lake Kawaguchiko?
2:48 LOL you said "lake ashinoko", but ashi-no-ko means "ashi lake". Its lake Ashi!
We always insist on giving the full name in Japanese even if it may sound repetitive, so that it can be helpful when on location.
7:18 "elusive", right? (subtitles)
Good catch!
я поеду туда в апреле и пройду по вашему маршруту
So how did it go?How much time would you recommand someone to stay there to visit Hakone?
The mountains of hakone are?
I'm been to Hakone.
How does one obtain a Hakone free pass? And how would you reserve a night at a ryokan?
when is the best month to visit hakone?
Its possible to visit all year around! During the winter months you might have a higher change of viewing mount Fuji, since the air is crisp and its often not as cloudy!
looking beautiful, after watching this video i decided to visit Hakone in july ^^
Enjoy your trip!
From where I will get the Hakone free pass ?
Guys, how long would you recommand someone to stay there to fully enjoy Hakone?2 nights?3?4?
best video
Where can you take Hakone free pass?
Can anyone recommend a good Mt Fuji tour?
I’m not sure whether to stay here 2 nights or Fuji 🧐 I would like to see the mountain but not climb it
これから箱根はけっこういいです。とくに強羅は飲食店があります。
Afternoon act like normal tourist
Midnight go to the mountain pass
and see racing
Are these doable within a day?
If you have car and start early, it's possible to do them all in one long day, but it would be somewhat rushed.
@@japanguide I will be travelling one month to Japan, so I have time.How many days would you recommand me to stay in Hakone?
i like it
Nice
Hakone would be much better in sunny days. Unfortunately, this video was taken in a worse condition. Hakone usually enjoys its comfortable weathers in the Pacific Ocean side of Japan.
Im looking for a private onsen... in which tattoos are accepted. I have 3 smalls tattoos..and Im afraid this will be an issue. Thanks
