Frequently asked questions
Can I sightsee on departure day after two Yumoto nights?
With ample airport time, take a short Yumoto riverside walk. Visit the history museum, art museum and Gora during the first two days; on the last, travel through Odawara to the airport. Omit the walk if hotel access, transfers or airport procedures make timing tight. A morning flight requires a different arrangement with the last night below the mountains and easier airport access.
