Hi everyone,
I will be going to Japan in early May with my family and we are planning to do an overnight stay in Hakone. I have read other threads on their itineraries but am still confused on how to get to Hakone and the logistics of the Hakone loop in general. For reference, we will be heading from Tokyo and then plan to go to Kyoto after Hakone. Hoping for some tips + advice on how to go about this trip.
From our hotel in Tokyo to Hakone:
[Rygoku Station -> Shinjuku Station -> Odawara Station -> Hakone-Tozan Line -> Hakone-Yumoto Station -> Gora Station]
Question:
- Is there an easier way to get to Hakone or is this route correct?
From Gora Station, do the Hakone Loop then head to our hotel:
Sounzan by Cable Car at Gora Station
Chokoku-no-mori Station -> Hakone Open Air Museum
Owakudani
Togendai Station
Pirate Cruise Ship
Motohakone Port
Hakone Shrine
Go back to Togendai Station via cruise ship
Hotel (Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori, which is supposedly next to Togendai Station)
Question:
- Is this too much to do for the day?
- Anything I should take note of or change?
- To get to Kyoto, specifically Gion-Shijo station, I'm assuming we take the bus to Odawara Station -> Kyoto Station -> Shijo Kawaramachi station. Is this correct?
TIA!
