As someone who used to sell the Hakone Freepass at Shinjuku, your explanations are so detailed I feel you did my job way better than I ever did 😅. Sadly that baito disappeared because of COVID, so this video brought me some nostalgia of those times :O. For anyone reading, some extra info that might be useful:
– There is a version of the Hakone Freepass combined with the area near Mount Fuji (the Fuji Hakone Pass) and another one combined with Kamakura/Enoshima (the Hakone Kamakura Pass). Both are valid for three days and you'd need at least two days to cover everything. I've seen some mad lads do Fuji and Hakone in one single day; I do not recommend it lol.
– There are different models of the Romance Car which vary depending on the day and time. Also, depending on the side you sit you might be able to see Mount Fuji (I think it was right when going from Shinjuku and left when coming back, don't take my word for it though 😅).
– When the pandemic is finally over, if tourism comes to be the same way it was before, AVOID the Chinese new year. The amount of tourists in Hakone (and any main tourist areas in Japan) is absurd and you can barely move.
– This isn't useful per se but is a fun fact: Hakone is "Tokyo 3" in Evangelion, so if you like that show you can recognize some of the landscapes in person :).
Beautiful guide to Hakone Mizhelle!
