Hakone 2 day Itinerary: The Ultimate Hakone Itinerary for a Memorable Trip 

The onsen town of Hakone is a tranquil escape offering plenty for visitors to do while taking in the majestic surroundings. Many people come to Hakone to get a glimpse of Mount Fuji. But the town has plenty of other gems to explore using this Hakone 2 day itinerary.

Hakone is a town where you can have many unique experiences that will stay with you long after your holiday is over. Stay in a ryokan with tatami mats and futons, eat a black egg cooked in volcanic steam, experience a traditional onsen bath, see Mount Fuji from a pirate ship, and walk the old Tokaido road once taken by samurais. 

Hakone is also a fantastic destination for families. We visited Hakone with our toddler, and were pleasantly surprised by how kid friendly (and stroller friendly) it wae. We loved taking in the scenery from the boat, ropeway, and train, while our toddler loved the transport itself.

This blog is a Hakone 2 day itinerary to help you make the most of your time here. I’ve included practical tips for getting around Hakone’s unique transport system, highly-rated places to stay, and restaurant recommendations too. It can take time to get between the main attractions in Hakone, so I’ve crafted this itinerary to try to minimise transport times. I found it difficult planning our trip to Hakone and how to get around, so I hope this blog reduces the difficulty for you.

This Hakone 2 day itinerary is written with relatively active tourists in mind. I’ve included recommendations to help families visiting Hakone, but I would recommend this Hakone 2 day itinerary if you’re travelling without kids too.

Hakone 2 day itinerary: Top tips

How to get to Hakone from Tokyo and Kyoto

Hakone is conveniently located within easy reach of both Tokyo and Kyoto, taking 1.5-2 hours from Tokyo and 2-3 hours from Kyoto. 

Arriving in Hakone can be a bit confusing, particularly as the bullet train arrives in the neighbouring city of Odawara. Hakone is spread out in different pockets along the Hakone Tozan train line and around Lake Ashi. Once you arrive in neighbouring Odawara, you’ll need to take another train and likely a bus or taxi to get to your accommodation in Hakone. See the next section for my tips for getting around Hakone once you’ve arrived (including using the Hakone Free Pass).

Travelling between Tokyo and Hakone

Shinkansen (bullet train)

Shinkansen to Odawara Station and transfer to Hakone-Yumoto station or bus to Hakone accommodation (80 minutes, with one transfer, included in JR Pass). The bullet train (Shinkansen) between Tokyo Station and Odawara Station takes just 35 minutes. The Shinkansen between Tokyo and Odawara is covered by the JR Pass, making it a cheaper option if you have an active JR Pass.

From Odawara Station, transfer to the Hakone Tozan line to Hakone-Yumoto Station. Trains depart every 20-30 minutes during the day, and take about 15 minutes. The train between Odawara and Hakone-Yumoto is covered by the Hakone Free Pass.

Odakyu Romancecar train

Odakyu Romancecar express train (90 minutes, no transfers, not included in JR Pass): This is a direct train from Shinjuku Station to Hakone Yumoto station (not neighbouring Odawara). This is the most comfortable way to get to Hakone from Tokyo: The 90 minute trip has reserved seating and no transfers.

You can purchase tickets from a station or online. Tickets are ¥2,470 (or ¥2,420 if you buy online).  The Odakyu Romancecar isn’t covered by the JR Pass, but is discounted if you buy a Hakone Free Pass at the same time. 

Tip: If travelling to Hakone on the Odakyu Romancecar express train from Shinjuku, buy your Hakone Free Pass at the same time to receive a discount

Private tours and transfers

There are plenty of options for private transfers and guided tours from Tokyo to Hakone. Transfers are a great option if you want to avoid carrying your luggage across multiple forms of transport.

With this Hakone 2 day itinerary, you don’t need to do a private tour. Still, tours are a great option if you don’t want to stay overnight in Hakone This highly-rated private tour from Tokyo to Hakone can pick you up from your Tokyo accommodation and take you to Hakone and closer to Mount Fuji all in one day. The tour accommodates private groups of up to 6 people.  

Travelling between Kyoto and Hakone

Shinkansen (bullet train)

The Shinkansen between Kyoto and Odawara Station takes about 2-3 hours depending on the number of stops along the route. The quickest route takes about 2 hours and 5 minutes, with only four stops. The Shinkansen is covered by the JR Pass.

Purchase the Hakone Free Pass for unlimited travel on transport for 2 or 3 days

The Hakone Free Pass is a discount pass for public transport in Hakone. For a set fee, you can use the Hakone train, sightseeing boat, cable car, ropeway, and Odakyu-affiliated buses. You also receive discounts at some tourist attractions including the Mishima SkyWalk and Hakone Open Air Museum. 

You can purchase the Hakone Free Pass for 2 days or 3 days. If you’re doing this Hakone 2 day itinerary, then it’s definitely worth purchasing at least a 2-day Hakone Free Pass. Buy a 3 day Free Pass if you are going to be using public transport to get around on a third day (it’s only slightly more money). The pass is valid for 2 or 3 consecutive calendar days (not 48 or 72 hours). 

Hakone Free Pass Prices

It’s not actually ‘free’…

• Two days: ¥5,000 (~USD34) for adults, ¥1,000 (~USD6) for children aged 6-11
• Three days: ¥5,400 (~USD32) for adults, ¥1,100 (~USD7) for children aged 6-11
• Add a return trip to Hakone from Shinjuku Station for an extra ¥1,100 (~USD7) (children aged 6-11 cost an extra ¥100 or ~USD0.6). 

You can buy the Hakone Free Pass on the Odakyu official website, or from Odakyu stations (including Hakone Yumoto, Odawara and Shinjuku). You can also add on a discounted return train trip to Hakone from Shinjuku Station. 

Where to stay in Hakone and accommodation options 

Being popular with tourists, Hakone offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit every budget and preference.  Enjoy a luxurious escape at a 5-star hotel with a private onsen, stay in a traditional ryokan (Japanese Inns) with tatami mats and futon beds, or a hostel with shared facilities. 

Luxury accommodation 

• Gora Kadan: Stay in this luxurious 5-star ryokan in Gora with spacious tatami mat rooms and set amongst exquisite Japanese gardens. The restaurant boasts a beautiful onsen and fantastic upscale restaurant serving traditional kaiseki meals.  The hotel has a range of rooms for different group sizes (up to 6), and some rooms include private onsens or cypress baths.
• Hakone Kyuan: Upscale hotel offering a range of spacious room options, including separate living areas, private onsens, and terraces with spectacular views of the mountains. Walking distance to the Yunessun Spa and Hakone Open Air museum, Hakone Kyuan also has a shuttle service for guests.

Mid-range accommodation

• Hakone Hotel: My top recommendation is this comfortable hotel in Moto-Hakone with impressive views of Lake Ashi and even a glimpse of Mount Fuji. In my opinion this is the best area to stay in Hakone being lakeside while still being walking distance to restaurants and shops. The hotel has an onsen, on-site restaurant, and a range of rooms including those accommodating families. Cots are available on request for free (subject to availability).
• Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora: stylish hotel in the heart of Gora merging the traditional with the modern. The hotel has a relaxing indoor shared family onsen (that allows swimwear), and a range of room options including private onsens and river views. 
• Hakone Ashinoko Hanaori: Beautiful hotel offering stunning views of Lake Ashi, and just a 2-minute walk from the start of the Togendai ropeway. Enjoy traditional tatami-mat floors, sliding paper doors, and futon bedding. The hotel has a range of room options available for up to 4 people, and the onsens looking over the lake.  

Budget accommodation

• Onsen guesthouse Hakone Tent: Hostel offering traditional dormitories and private rooms for up to 6. With a shared kitchen, this is also a great option for families or travellers wanting to cook. Hakone Tent also has an on-site onsen for guests.
• Guesthouse Azito: Budget-friendly hostel near Hakone-Yumoto station offering capsule dormitories and basic private rooms. Discount tickets are provided for a small onsen nearby. The guesthouse only allows children over 6.
• Mira Hakone Lakeside Inn: Small and tidy modern rooms with kitchenettes at Motohakone, located right between the Hakone Shrine and Moto Hakone port for the sightseeing cruise. 

Is Hakone worth visiting?

Absolutely! The stunning landscapes, unique transport system, relaxing onsens, and opportunities to see Mount Fuji make it a unique and worthwhile destination on your Japan itinerary. While the views of Mount Fuji aren’t guaranteed, there are lots of other things to do and see.

We chose to visit Hakone because we wanted to see Mount Fuji and experience the hot springs as a family. Hakone offered us the opportunity to do both in one destination. Many traditional onsens are separated by gender, but there are family onsens in Hakone that allow swimwear and families to swim together. We also knew the pirate ship tour and ropeway would be a hit with our toddler.

Is Hakone a family friendly destination?

Yes, Hakone is a fantastic place to explore as a family with plenty of attractions for visitors of all ages. The sightseeing boat and ropeway are bound to be a hit with the kids while you admire the views of Mount Fuji. Families will also love the Mishima SkyWalk complex and the Hakone Open Air Museum. The Old Tokaido Road is short and flat, making it doable for tiny tourists too. We loved exploring Hakone with our toddler.

It is important to be aware that the attractions are spread out in Hakone and the transport loop systems can make it difficult to get back to your accommodation quickly. So be prepared with snacks, nappies, and whatever other kiddy paraphernalia you need for the day.

Hakone 2 day itinerary: Is 2 days enough time in Hakone?

Two days is enough time to spend in Hakone and see the main sights. For a small town, the tourist sites are relatively spread out and can take a while to travel between, particularly with the loop transport system. I have written this itinerary to try to minimise travel times and allow you to make the most of your time in Hakone. This itinerary is written for two full days in Hakone. Day 1 includes my top recommendations for things to do in Hakone. If one of your days in Hakone is shorter, I’d recommend removing the Mishima SkyWalk or Open Air Museum from the day 2 itinerary (depending on the weather and your preferences).  

Hakone 2 day itinerary

Day 1: Onsens, Hakone shrine, and scenic views of the Hakone circuit (boat, ropeway, cable car, and train) 

On the first day of your Hakone 2 day itinerary, take the Hakone round circuit. Five different forms of transport take you around the town: Boat, ropeway, cable car, train, and bus. Each part of the circuit offers incredible views of the beautiful surroundings, with the ropeway and boat ride offering stunning views of Mount Fuji on clear days. 

You can start the circuit at any point and in either direction, but I recommend doing the boat ride and ropeway in the morning when it is less likely to be cloudy. Here, I’ve started at Hakone-machi, where you can also see the Hakone shrine and torii gate.

Hakone shrine and torii gate in Lake Ashi

Start your day with a visit to the majestic torii gate in Lake Ashi, which forms part of the Hakone shrine. To get there from Hakone-machi, take a scenic 10 minute walk along the lake. When we visited at 8am, there was already a line to get your photo taken in front of the gates. Once you’ve admired the gates, you can follow the path up to the Hakone Shrine. The location of the shrine adds to the atmosphere: nestled among cedar forest at the foot of Mount Hakone. 

Sightseeing cruise on a pirate ship: First chance to see Fuji

• Allow around 1 hour (Cruise takes 25-40 minutes plus wait times)
• Included in the Hakone Free Pass
• Sailing times differ depending on departure port and season. First sailing from Motohakone is at 9.30am in summer
• Hakone Official Website 

The Hakone sightseeing cruise is an incredible way to start your Hakone circuit and one of your best opportunities to see Mount Fuji. The cruise runs between Hakonemachi-Ko and Moto-Hakone-Ko in the south part of the lake, and Togendai-Ko in the north which connects up with the ropeway. Provided the weather is clear, Mount Fuji can be seen in front of you as you take the first corner around Lake Ashi. The boat itself is quite a spectacle, the recently refurbished “pirate ship” was a big hit with our toddler. 

Tip to get the best views: Boarding only starts 5-10 minutes before departure, but we arrived 20 minutes early for the 9.30am sailing and already there was a queue to board the ship. Stand on the front right side of the ship (when boarding from Motohakone) for the best views of the torii gates and Mount Fuji. The Hakone freepass included a standard ticket, and you can pay for an upgrade for better spaces and seating at the very front of the ship. We didn’t do the upgrade and were really happy with our view. 

Ropeway from Togendai to Sounzan: Another chance to see Fuji and stop in a volcanic valley

• Allow up to 1.5 hours (30 minutes for ropeway and up to 1 hour at Owakudani Valley) 
• Ropeway included in Hakone Free Pass
• Opening hours: 8.45am-5.15pm (March to November) and 9.15am-4.15pm (December to February)

The ship will arrive in Togendai-Ko where you can walk the short distance to the ropeway. This 30-minute ride offers incredible views of Mount Fuji (provided the weather is clear), as well as the surrounding greenery, Lake Ashi, and the volcanic valley of Owakudani. We had a clear morning when we took the ropeway and had incredible views of Mount Fuji. 

The ropeway stops halfway at Owakudani Valley, which was created about 3,000 years ago following a volcanic eruption. Here you can stretch your legs and admire the space-like terrain. This is also the place to try a black egg: these are eggs boiled in sulphur-rich steam vents which turn them black. Eating one is said to add seven years to your life.  

Cable car from Sounzan to Gora: Gora Park and lunch

• Allow 1-2 hours depending on whether you’re having lunch and visiting Gora Park. The cable car ride only takes 5 minutes
• Cable car and Gora Park included in Hakone Free Pass

The ropeway ends at Sounzan where you will be guided to the cable car to Gora. The cable car is a short, steep journey down to Gora. 

Gora is a quaint area with several restaurants and cafes. This is a good place to stop for a meal before continuing on your transport tour. Gora is also home to Gora Park and is a nice place for a stroll if you need to stretch your legs before sitting down on the train again. Entry to the park is free with your Hakone Free Pass.

Hakone Tozan scenic train from Gora to Hakone Yumoto Station

• Allow 1-2.5 hours depending on your plans around Yumoto Station. The scenic train ride takes about 50 minutes and departures leave every 15-20 minutes
• Train ride included in the Hakone Free Pass

This scenic train ride offers wonderful views of the mountains that are a stark contrast to the barren volcanic Owakudani valley. The train weaves its way through the lush green mountainside and along the river. 

The train ride has six stops in total, with the final stop being Hakone Yumoto Station. The area around Hakone Yumoto Station has plenty of shops, restaurants, and accommodation. You can spend some time here shopping, eating, or simply exploring. 

From here, you can use the Hakone circuit to get back to your accommodation or continue on to a dedicated onsen. The bus links Hakone Yumoto Station with Lake Ashi, or you can take the train back to your stop. 

Hakone 2 day itinerary: Enjoy an onsen (hot spring) bath

Allow 1-3 hours. You can really spend as long as you want here. Prices and hours vary depending on the onsen. I’ve included details for Yunessun Spa below.

• Yunessun Open: 10am-6pm on weekdays, and 9am-7pm on weekends and public holidays. Hours may vary depending on the season and area of the spa. 
• Price: ¥3,500 (~USD22) for adult entry to all areas. Discounts available with the Hakone Free Pass.
• Yunessun Onsen official website

After your round tour of Hakone, now is a great time to relax and unwind with an onsen experience. Being a hot spring town, there are onsens throughout Hakone. Many hotels have private onsens for guests to use, and some hotels open their onsens to the public for a fee during certain hours. 

There are also public onsens that anyone can enter for a fee. The most popular is the Yunessun spa, which has 23 different onsens and options for the whole family. This is a great option if you are travelling as a family, as it has options for men, women, and children to enjoy the spa together. It even has a water park and hydroslides.

Yunessun spa can be accessed by bus from the Yumoto Station, with the bus stopping directly outside the spa. You can also take the train, but there is a 20 minute walk from the closest train station (Kowakidani Station) to the spa.

Tip: Not all onsens allow tattoos. If you have tattoos, it is best to check out the onsen’s policy before entering. Yunessun spa allows tattoos in most of its onsens, but they need to be covered.

Hakone 2 day itinerary

Day 2: Mishima SkyWalk, Hakone Checkpoint, and Hakone Open Air Museum 

Your second day in Hakone can be adapted depending on the weather conditions and where you are staying in Hakone. If you have a short day, then consider removing parts of the itinerary. I’ve included the Mishima SkyWalk first, as that is when the sky tends to be clearest, but you can do it later in the day if the forecast is better in the afternoon. 

Mishima SkyWalk, complex and adventure activities

• Allow 1.5-2 hours for the sky walk and surrounding area. You could spend a lot longer here if you are doing the additional activities or trail tours. 
• Open: Sky walk is open 8am – 6pm. Some activities and eateries are open for shorter hours, so check the website for details. 
• Prices: SkyWalk costs ¥2,000 (~USD12) for adults, ¥500 (~USD3) for children. Discounts available with the Hakone Free Pass. Zip lining and other activities are additional. 
• Getting there: 20 minute bus ride on the N bus from Motohakone-Ko (where you started day one of this itinerary). 
• Mishima SkyWalk Official Website

Start your second day on your Hakone 2 day itinerary with a visit to the stunning Mishima SkyWalk. This 400m pedestrian suspension bridge is the longest in Japan, and offers incredible views of Mount Fuji on a clear day. The walk itself can be done in about half an hour, but it is worth taking your time to enjoy the incredible surroundings. 

There are a bunch of other adventure activities at the SkyWalk including zip lining, adventure courses, and quad bike tours. For kids, there’s a dinosaur maze, petting zoo with owls, and rock climbing. You could easily spend most of the day here if you want to make the most of the activities. You can find a full list of activities (including prices and hours) on the official website.

The SkyWalk complex is also a good spot to stop for a coffee or a snack before continuing on your way to the next stop.

We had a wonderful time at the Sky Walk complex. The bridge was spectacular, and we had a clear day with great views to Mount Fuji. It was also entertaining watching all the zip liners. Still, I wouldn’t recommend the Mishima SkyWalk if the weather is bad or cloudy, unless you really want to do a particular activity. You can check out ‘other things to do in Hakone’ at the end of this blog.

Tip: Prams and wheelchairs can be hired free of charge at the ticket entrance. Umbrellas are not allowed on the skywalk so bring a raincoat if any rain is forecast. 

Hakone Checkpoint 

• Allow up to 1 hour 
• Open: 9am-5pm (closes at 4.30pm December – February Prices: ¥500 (~USD3) for adults and ¥250 (~USD1.5) for children. Discount available with Hakone Free Pass
• Getting there: Take the N bus back towards Motohakone, getting off at Hakone Machi (15 minutes)
• Hakone Checkpoint Official Website

After exploring the natural beauty of Hakone, your next two stops delve into the history of the area. The Hakone Checkpoint served as a checkpoint during the Tokugawa shogunate. The checkpoint was positioned strategically on the Tokaido Road: a major highway that connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Explore the replica checkpoint complete with guardhouses and gates, showing how the checkpoint would have operated in the era. 

Depending on how much time you have, you can also stroll through the neighbouring Onshi-Hakone Park before continuing on to the Old Tokaido Road. Entry to the park is free.

Tip: Have a photo translation app handy to translate signs at the Hakone Checkpoint that are only in Japanese. You can also see Mount Fuji from the grounds on a clear day. 

Old Tokaido Road

• Allow up to 30 minutes to walk from Hakone Checkpoint to Motohakone along the Old Tokaido Road
• Open 24 hours
• Free 
• Getting there: Continue past the Hakone Checkpoint Exhibition Hall and walk through the carpark for Onshi Hakone Park to the pedestrian crossing. Cross National Route 1 to the end of the Old Tokaido Road

A 1.2 kilometre section of the old Tokaido Road has been restored between Hakonemachi and Motohakone to show what the road used to look like. The path is flanked by towering cedar trees on each side, making for both a beautiful walk and an educational experience. The old Tokaido Road that once connected Tokyo and Kyoto stretched approximately 500 kilometres, and served as a vital trade route between the cities. You can walk in the footsteps of pilgrims, samurais, and merchants. 

Tip if travelling with kids: The 1.2km path of the Old Tokaido is pebbly and can be a bit muddy in parts after rain, making it difficult to navigate with a travel pram. The rest of the path connecting Motohakone and Hakonemachi is pram friendly. A baby carrier would be more suitable, or you could carry your little one (given the short distance). Our toddler insisted on walking.

Lunch on Lake Ashi

At the end of the Old Tokaido Road you will arrive back at Motohakone. This is a great spot to stop for lunch, with many eateries having lake views, including Bakery&Table. We had a delicious lunch at Shinsho Soba. We also really enjoyed the pasta, views, and service at lakefront La Terrazza. If you’re travelling on a budget, you could pick up snacks from the 7-11 and enjoy a lakeside picnic.

Hakone Open Air Museum

• Allow 2-3 hours to explore the museum 
• Open: 9am-5pm March-November (closes at 4pm December-February).
• Hours can vary for special events, so check the official website for specific dates. 
• Price: ¥2,000 (~USD13) for adults and ¥600 (~USD4) for children. Discounts available if you buy online or have the Hakone Free Pass.
• Getting there: Take the H bus for 15 minutes towards Yumoto Station (away from Mishima SkyWalk), get off at Nanahira Iriguchi Bus Stop and then walk 500 metres to the museum entrance.
• Hakone Open Air Museum Official Website

End your Hakone 2 day itinerary with a visit to the captivating Hakone Open-Air Museum. This is an outdoor museum showing a wide range of modern and contemporary artwork against a backdrop of the lush Hakone landscape. The symphony sculpture is a draw card for many visitors to the museum, with its incredible stained glass panelling and spiral staircase. The museum has many interactive exhibits, including the ‘net forest’ playground for the kids.

The Hakone Open Air Museum is the last official stop on your Hakone 2 day itinerary. There are several restaurants within walking distance of the museum if you’re ready for another meal, or head back to your accommodation for an onsen before venturing out for dinner near your hotel. I’ve included our favourite food spots in Hakone at the end of this post.

Hakone 2 day itinerary: Other things to do and experience

I’ve included some other things to do in case you’ve got more time in Hakone. I’ve also included some museums and indoor options for wet weather. 

• Guided nature walk: Have a local guide show you around the Botanical Garden of Wetlands and Sengokuhara Susuki Grass Fields.
• Hakone Crafthouse: Participate in a wide range of craft activities including pottery and sandblasting.
• Pola Museum of Art: Modern museum showcasing European and Japanese Art.

• Odawara Castle: This small castle in neighbouring Odawara has impressive views from the tower and expansive park grounds (15 minute train or bus from Hakone-Yumoto Station).

Hakone 2 day itinerary: Best places to eat

Hakone has plenty of great placesto eat. Being a popular location with tourists, you enjoy traditional Japanese set meals, western dishes, and everything inbetween. I’ve included a range of recommendations below.   

• Gora Kadan Dining Room: This 5-star hotel in Gora contains a fantastic upscale restaurant offering traditional Japanese kaiseki set meals. The restaurant is open to day visitors and has a children’s meal available.
• Hakone Kowakien TEN-YU – This hotel near Yunessun spa has a great teppanyaki restaurant, enjoy the performance by teppanyaki chefs during your meal.
• Gora Brewery & Grill – This micro brewery and grill serves craft beers alongside western and Japanese dishes. The laid-back atmosphere makes it great for families as well.
• Shinsho Soba: This restaurant in Moto-Hakone offers tasty ramen and noodle dishes at a reasonable price. Western seating downstairs (also stroller friendly), and traditional seating upstairs with views of Lake Ashi. 
• La Terrazza: Italian restaurant at Motohakone serving delicious pizza and pasta with incredible views of Lake Ashi. Spacious seating area making it great for strollers.
• Bakery&Table: Great spot for pastries and sandwiches in Moto Hakone. Also has great lake views. Eat in or takeaway and enjoy a lakeside picnic. 
• Amazake Chaya Tea House: Traditional tea house where you can also enjoy Japanese sweets. Has traditional seating inside and outdoor seating amongst the trees. 

I hope this blog post answers all your questions on Hakone and inspires you to visit this beautiful and unique onsen town when visiting Japan. I would love to hear about your experience in Hakone and any feedback or questions you have, particularly if you’re travelling with kids.
