Hakone Hydrangea flower Trip by Hakone Tozan Railway

I would like to inform Hakone Hydrangea Trip by Hakone Tozan Railway

From Nagoya, 'JR Holiday Free chiket' 2600yen is better, it is free between Toyohashi and Atami.
At Odawara station, I recommend to buy 'One day chiket for Hakone Tozan Railway and Hakone Tozan Cable car' 1500yen.
From Tokyo,Odakyu railway 'Hakone Free Pass' 5000yen, which is free Hakone & Mt.Fuji area, is better.
Hydrangea flower is best season from middle of June to early of July.
Go to Hakone Yumoto by Odakyu railway.

At Hakone Yumoto, you have to change Hakone Tozan Railway going to Gora.
But this train changing needs about one hour necessary.
Because Hakone Tozan train is 2 or 3 cards, and frequency of trains is less, lots of travelers are waiting at this station.
After riding train, it is a crowded train. You have to endure this situation.
Strating Hakone Yumoto, you can see Hydrangea flowers.
Train climb mountains, doing switchback.
Lots of Hydrangea flowers are coming from train window.
About 40 minutes riding you will arrive Gora.
I recommend weekday trip, for escaping crowded travelers.

North of Gora station, there are a noodle shop and souvenir shop.
I have a lunch at Marmie Kitchen, Slilanka Currey 980yen.This Currey is popular.

After lunch, I ride Hakone Tozan Cable, going to Sounzan station.
For riding Ropeway, you have to buy ticket, I recommend Kaizoku ship & Ropeway one day ticket 2850yen.
When you are here at 15:00. Not going to Sounzan is better, it is lack of time for returning to Odawara.

Riding Ropeway, you will arrive Togendai.

Next to ride Kaizoku ship at Lake Ashinoko.


After 30 minutes shipping,you arrive Hakone town harbor.
Hakone town harbor has Hakone Sekisho gate about 5minutes walk, Onshi Hakone Park about 10 minutes walk.

Please enjoy Hakone sighseeing.

Returning to Hakone Yumoto, at Hakone Tozan Railway, you can see a lighing up Hydrangea flowers.
After 20:00 riding, train is not crowded.
Lighing up is from June 28 to July 7.

Night Hydrangea flowers train, which is All seats reserved specified system, is good for seeing Hydrangea flowers.
This train stops at Tonosawa statio for taking flower pictures, and slow down at some view points.

Hakone area is low temperatures, don't forget the long-sleeved clothing.
