2. Things to know when going from Tokyo

To Hakone, the Romancecar runs from Shinjuku without a change, at 75 minutes at the fastest. You pay a limited express fee on top of the fare: from Shinjuku to Hakone-Yumoto it is ¥1,200 for adults (¥1,150 for a ticketless purchase) and half price, ¥600, for children (Odakyu Romancecar limited express fare table, Japanese). The fare for an adult is ¥1,261 with an IC card and ¥1,270 with a paper ticket, so one way by Romancecar is about ¥2,460. All seats are reserved, and you buy the limited express ticket before boarding (Odakyu Romancecar guide, Japanese). By express train it is about 2 hours from Shinjuku (GO TOKYO Hakone page, Japanese).

For a day trip that stays around Hakone-Yumoto, the round-trip fare is enough: ¥2,522 round trip with an IC card. On a day when you visit several places beyond Yumoto, such as the Kowakien area where Yunessun is, the Hakone Free Pass, which gives unlimited rides on buses, the mountain train, ropeway and more, is an option. From Shinjuku it is ¥7,100 for adults and ¥1,600 for children for 2 days, and ¥7,500 and ¥1,850 for 3 days (since October 1, 2025). The Romancecar limited express fee is not included (Hakone Tabi Navi Hakone Free Pass, Japanese).

Atami is about 45 minutes from Tokyo Station by Kodama. Atami City says the Odoriko limited express on the Tokaido Line takes about 1 hour 20 minutes (Atami City official website, Japanese). Check the bullet train fare on a JR fare search for your day. From Atami Station, Hotel New Akao has a free shuttle bus that takes about 10 minutes.

Bathing rules also differ. On tattoos, Hakone Yuryo lifted its bathing restriction on April 1, 2025, and at Yunessun you can enter the swimsuit area if you cover the tattoo. Hotel New Akao refuses entry to people with tattoos.
