JR train pass. Haneda to Mt. Fuji Hakone

I just purchased a JR train pass. It noted cannot use Nozomi and Mizuito on Tokaido, Sanyo. How to travel via train using pass from 1) Haneda Airport to Mt. Fuji area or Hakone (is one easier than the other will be hiking up Mt. Fuji) and 2)Mt. Fuji to Kyoto. After hiking all day is it better to stay by Kawaguicko Station or Hakone Odawara? Is getting to one location easier or both about the same? After hike we travel to Kyoto. What is best/easiest train travel. Would be fun to do an onsen in Hakone but not sure if feasible?

JR can only take you as far as Odawara. Between there and Hakone you'll need to pay separately for travel on the private lines.

Hi!

If you're looking to climb Mt. Fuji you don't want to dink around with Odawara and Hakone-Yumoto.

Is this site's info on Mt. Fuji and where the various trail heads are. I guess if you want to take best advantage of your Pass you could use the Fujinomiya Trail which has bus transfer from various shinkansen stations like Mishima and Shin-Fuji.

I believe the Yoshida is the most popular trail and you would access that via Kawaguchiko. I believe pass holders need to pay an additional amount for using private line tracks to get there. When you're done climbing it might make sense to either stay in Kawaguchiko or Mishima. It would depend on the trail you use.

Good luck!

You get Hikari, Kodama and Sakura services instead. Less frequent, more stops.
