hakone tozan bus to mount view

Hi! same as alice&kelly, we will be going to mount view via the hakone free pass. just wondering if it is convenient to take the hakone tozan bus even if we just arrived at Japan and still carrying our luggage and not to mention, our 8mos old kid? thanks!

Depends on how much luggage you have. If you have a considerable amount of luggage plus the baby, it is potentially going to be very inconvenient, especially if the bus is busy (which is more likely the case on weekends than on weekdays).

Note that Hakone has a same-day luggage delivery system:

And there is the nationwide (usually) next-day delivery services:
