Hi All,
I am traveling to Japan on my honeymoon and am planning on spending a day and night in Hakone. I am planning on booking a traditional Ryokan to stay at, where check-in is usually 3 PM and check-out 11 AM.
I will be coming from Tokyo and heading to Kyoto after Hakone. I would like to do some sightseeing in Hakone and am wondering if I will be able to do this either before or after the Ryokan while traveling or if I will need to add an extra day.
Below are a couple of possibilities and am wondering what you think?
Option One:
Tokyo –> Hakone in early morning. Tour Hakone (sightseeing destinations below) until 3:00PM check-in. Stay at Ryokan until 11 am the following day. Do a little more sightseeing and then depart to Kyoto.
Option Two:
Tokyo –> Hakone night before. Stay at hotel in Hakone. Wake up and do sightseeing until 3:00pm. Stay at Ryokan until 11am the following day. Depart for Kyoto.
Do you recommend something else? Thanks so much for the guidance!
I am hoping to see the following in Hakone:
- Hakone Shrine and the Peace Shrine Gate
- Visit Moto Hakone Port or Hakone-machi Port to see Mt Fuji
- Ride Pirate Ship across Lake Ashi
- Hakone Open Air Museum
