What do you suggest for train's pass?
It's a good idea the 14day JR pass?
We would like if you have anything else to suggest for the initerary 😁😉
Hi amazing video. I’m going with my husband and 15 years old son. My hotel is near imperial palace in Tokyo. So which way is the best for me to go to hakone for 1 day ? Than you so much.
For the 2 day pass, can we use the rountrip from shinjuku to Hakone for both days or is it only 1 round trip ticket?
Followed the link to Klook to purchase the 2day Hakone freepass but didn't see any options on how to upgrade to the Romance car. We may have missed it also from your other Hakone related videos but I don't think it was clearly explained how to upgrade to Romance car unless I suppose if we're getting the tickets from Shinjuko and not using Klook.
