Is my Fuji-Hakone pass plan possible? 2023/11/14 01:20
Hello everyone, I'm visiting Japan for the first time and I plan to stay in Tokyo and then head to Kyoto. Between that time however, I wanted to check out the Hakone and Mount Fuji area. I made an itinerary that I plan to follow for that. I plan to buy the Fuji-Hakone pass to hopefully cover ALL transportation during this period. From what I researched the pass should cover everything but I am not entirely sure. I was hoping someone who was familiar with the pass and area could review my plan (BELOW) to see if its all good :) Thank you so much for your time!

Also, would anyone recommend doing Arakurayama Sengen Park over Mount Fuji Panoramic ropeway? It doesn't seem like its possible to do both.

Hello.
At the Odakyu Sightseeing Service Center, you can buy tickets from eight o'clock.
https://www.odakyu.jp/english/support/center/

As such, you cannot purchase a Fuji Hakone Pass on the same day.
I'm not sure, but in the case of the Hakone Free Pass, you can buy it from 1 month before the boarding date, so probably you can also buy the Fuji Hakone Pass before the previous day.
I recommend you to go to Odakyu Sightseeing Service Center to check by the previous day.
