We had a wonderful experience. The trains were efficient and we arrived from Tokyo to Hakone effortlessly. Buying the unlimited 2 day transportation pass was essential for exploring the region and taking advantage of the local buses, cable cars and trains. There can sometimes be 20 minute waiting time for the transports which made us late to catch our connection back to Tokyo - and as we had purchased reserved romance car seats we lost those tickets and had to purchase new ones. But overall it was great!

I enjoyed on this activity as the trip was smooth and weather is perfect. I saw a lot of picturesque view. The group is also very considerate unlike my other experience on a group tour, most of the time we wait for late comers. In addition the tour guide is very accommodating and funny . thanks for great experience Domo Arigato
