Jia Nan, our chinese-speaking guide, was excellent. She provided detailed explanation of the history and geographical features of Hakone and Mt Fuji. She assisted in pre-arranging tickets and meals so that we minimize waiting times. The itinerary felt a bit rushed, but that was understandable as we need to cover multiple destinations within the day. Highly recommended!

Tips for Your Hakone Ropeway Experience

How to go to Hakone Ropeway?

To board the ropeway, head to Togendai station in Hakone. Located 50 miles (82 km) southwest of Tokyo, Hakone is reachable by car. Trains from Tokyo's Shinjuku station run regularly to Hakone, including Hakone Tozan Railway, or you can go for guided tours that include transportation.

How long does it take to do Hakone Ropeway?

Hop aboard a Hakone Ropeway gondola to enjoy stunning views of attractions like the smoking Owakudani Valley, serene Lake Ashinoko, majestic Mount Fuji (3,776 m), and more in the Hakone area. This 30-minute ride spans 4 kilometers, one of the longest ropeway rides in the world.

Is the Hakone Ropeway safe?

The Hakone Ropeway Japan passes through Owakudani, an active steaming vent where safety measures may be taken for weather or gas releases. In extreme conditions or hazardous situations, the ropeway might be temporarily suspended to prioritize your safety.

Can you take luggage on the Hakone Ropeway?

The gondolas are big enough for suitcases and wheelchairs. If it's crowded, the suitcase might be a bit bothersome for others, but on regular weekdays, you shouldn't have any issues besides the weight of your luggage.
