Journey times and fares are typical one-way figures for a standard seat, not live quotes. Peak-season, reserved-seat and green-car prices run higher — always confirm at the time of booking.

What to know
Skip the shinkansen here. The Odakyu Romancecar runs direct from Shinjuku, costs a fraction of the JR route, and the Hakone Freepass bundles the whole mountain loop — train, cable car, ropeway, pirate ship — into one ticket.
