Frequently asked questions
When do you visit the Open-Air Museum on a four-day trip with one night in Hakone?

Hakone official transport guideJR Tokyo-area route mapKeikyu airport access guideNarita Airport railway guide
Can you use the same pass for Kamakura, Enoshima and Hakone?
From a Yokohama base, use JR for trips to Kamakura and Fujisawa, buying the Enoden journeys you need separately. For a Hakone overnight stay, travel via Odawara and use Hakone’s mountain trains. Check the designated Hakone transport and starting-station-specific Odakyu return coverage of the Hakone Freepass; JR from Yokohama to Odawara and attraction admission cost extra. An Enoden day pass does not cover JR or Hakone transport either.
