3D2N in Hakone & 4D3N in Kawaguchiko 2016/7/29 16:18
We will be arriving Hakone on 29Dec16 Stay for 2 night till 1Dec16 then travel to Lake Kawaguchiko from 1Dec till 4Dec2016.

We will be getting two passes in Hakone Free Pass (3day) and Fuji Free Pass (4day)

Questions are:
Can the 3 day Hakone free pass be used on our last day in Fuji area 4Dec2016 just for returning to Shinjuku by Odakyu highway bus since is round trip pass? If not, please advise the best budget transport to return to Shinjuku.

Is there a 4 days Fuji free pass and whether the Fuji free pass will include one way return fare to Shinjuku from Kawaguchiko Station, in the event if we can't use the earlier Hakone free pass?

Alternatively, please kindly advise the best passes for our 3D2N in Hakone and 4D3N in Lake Kawaguchiko.

Please also advise if a 4D3N will be too long to spend in Lake Kawaguchiko in December 2016.

Appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Not sure what a Fuji Free Pass is. Do you have a link to said product?

I'm aware of a Hakone Free Pass and a Fuji-Hakone Pass.

The pass have a validity period of 2 or 3 days depending on what you select. And the options of return trip or no return trip. These can only be purchase at Shinjuku and/or Odawara.

So you cannot piggy back them for the number of days you suggest.

You dont require that much time in Fuji Hakone Area unless you are planning such a slow and relaxing trip is lazy go nowhere onsen days. 2 day in Hakone and 2 days in Kawaguchiko would be enough.

"IF" you would like to stick you your original plan, then I would find your own way to Odawarra, 880 yen from Shinjuku on Odakyu Railways. then purchase the 5650 yen Fuji-Hakone pass for 3 days of localized travel.

Then for you Kawaguchi days, buy bus passes 1200 or 1500 yen per day to get around the Fuji 5 Lakes area.

Then pay either single bus ticket or train ticket from Kawaguchiko back to Shinjuku. Bus = 1500 yen approx, train = 2200 yen approx.

Thank you for your advice, we should shorten our stay in Kawaguchiko to 3D2N and return back to Tokyo.

Wonder if we are able to see the final autumn colors in Kawaguchiko in early December?

Appreciated much.
Best Regards
