Hakone Yumoto to Gotemba Premium Outlet

I am planning a visit to Gotemba Premium Outlet on 17th March 2014, I have the Hakone freepass and I couldn't find the time table of Hakone Tozan bus to Gotemba Premium Outlet.

Does Hakone Tozan bus line L and S go there on weekday and where can i find the time table?

I also have to be back to Hakone Yumoto station as I have to leave at 5:49pm with Romancecar. How do I go back Hakone Yumoto from Gotemba Premium Outlet?

Please Please advice :(

The Hakone Freepass is good to visit Hakone, but it is not convenient if your main purpose is a visit to Gotemba. If you want to visit the outlet mall, you better access it directly. Travel via Hakone-Yumoto would be a huge and complicated detour.

How to access the outlets:

If you want to access them from Yumoto, after all, there are two main options:

Option 1)
a) Take the bus line T from Yumoto to Sengaku (every 10-20 minutes)
b) Take the Odakyu bus from Sengoku to Gotemba Station (every 20-30 minutes)
c) Take the free shuttle from Gotemba Station to the outlet (every 20 minutes)

Option 2)
a) Take the Hakone Tozan Railway to Gora (frequent departures)
b) Take the direct bus from Gora to the outlet mall (once per hour)

The bus timetables are here in Japanese:

How do I go back Hakone Yumoto from Gotemba Premium Outlet?

Same way, opposite direction.

Thanks Uji for the information :D

Hi Uji,

Noticed that Hakone Tozan bus Line S/L or M go to Gotemba Premium Outlet from Sengoku Station. Is that way time consuming and do they pick up passenger from the outlet?

Appreciate your advice. :)

Thanks!

after Hakone sightseeing cruise, can we take the Odakyu-hakone highway bus from Moto-hakone port to Gotemba premium outlet? or from Togendai station only(bus lines V & W)thanks.
