    A daytrip is actually not enaugh for Hakone. I would recommend anyone to stay overnight in one of the many ryokans and spend two days in Hakone.
  • @onebladeprop
    It's worth mentioning that the art museum has really nice Picasso exhibit in a dedicated building.

    I will be 70 next month. You Video Inspires me to get 'off my butt' and take a trip to Japan. A Place I have never been to before. And one of the things I want to do is Visit Hakone after watching, and re-watching your Video, Arigato!
  • @perdomot
    I've done this trip several times and always loved it. I've done it as a day trip and have stayed overnight at an onsen hotel and an overnight is definitely the best. Its definitely on my list for when Japan opens up again.

    The Hakone Pass also works for the buses to/from Mishima Station, which is nice if you are traveling from Shizuoka or Nagoya or want to include the Mishima SkyWalk as part of your trip.

    🎉 missing japan badly! ❤ hakone is definitely one of favourite spots in japan
  • I went to Hakone in 2019 for my birthday and I am so glad that tea shop is still around. The atmosphere was so relaxing and the staff was amazing! For anyone who wants to try the old Tokaido road, make sure you wear good walking shoes! The uneven stones really make you work for it haha.
