Hakone Travel Guide: Day Trip from Tokyo using the Hakone Free Pass | The Travel Intern

Check out our Hakone Travel Guide: https://thetravelintern.com/hakone-day-trip-from-tokyo-hakone-free-pass/ Being in Hakone felt a lot like exploring Disneyland; think pirate ships, old trains that climb mountains and cable ropeways that hover over misty volcanic valleys. The diversity of landscape almost felt almost as though everything was carefully planned and sectioned out into the different worlds like in Disneyland. Hakone to many locals is also a favourite weekend getaway; an onsen town with great views of Mount Fuji as well as old hiking paths with lined with 400 year old cedar trees. If that sounds like your kind of getaway — even if it’s just a quick detour from Tokyo — here’s our guide to a fuss-free day trip in Hakone.
