Insider Tip
Go counterclockwise (train → cable car → ropeway → boat) to face fewer crowds. The ropeway over Owakudani has Mt. Fuji views on clear days.
JEMS Tip
JEMS pre-purchases the Hakone Free Pass and maps the optimal loop direction to avoid backtracking and crowds.
About
The Hakone loop combines trains, cable cars, a ropeway, and a pirate ship cruise across Lake Ashi — all with views of Mt. Fuji on clear days. A full-day adventure through volcanic valleys, hot springs, and mountain scenery.
Crowd Avoidance
Start early (first Romancecar) and go counterclockwise. Avoid weekends and holidays. Winter weekdays are the quietest.
Getting There
Odakyu Romancecar from Shinjuku to Hakone-Yumoto (85 min). Then Hakone Tozan Railway, cable car, ropeway, and pirate ship.
