DAY TOURS FROM TOKYO | RIDE THE HAKONE ROPEWAY
The Hakone Ropeway is an easy and fun way to get around Hakone which is all included in the Hakone Free Pass. Connecting Sounzan Station to Togendai Station (the shores of Lake Ashi), this ropeway offers an incredible view of the sulfur fields of Owakudani, Lake Ashi and Mt. Fuji if the weather permits. A long the way you will have to get off at Owakudani Station to transfer onto a different different cable car to continue on the line, however, passengers usually choose to explore the Owakudani Valley to witness the sulfurous hot spring sources being exhaled out of the mountain and to eat their signature black eggs cooked in hot springs.
If you choose to come from Togendai Station, you most likely came on through the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise (which is also included in the Hakone Free Pass) and if you came from Sounzan Station, you likely made your way from Hakone Yumoto (which is included in the Hakone Free Pass as well). At each station, a cable car comes roughly every minute and can see about 10 people.
