Taxi cost 2025/3/14 22:27
Dear,

I want the travel from Hakone to Kawaguchiko by taxi in the morning. I'm looking after a taxi company and a price.
Any other idea for traveling to Kawaguchiko is welcome.
Many thanks

The cost depends on the place in Hakone you will be departing from. It is a spacious town. It will likely cost between 25,000 and 30,000 yen. And I would not expect major cost differences between companies.

You can call taxis through your hotel or by going to a taxi stand at a major station:

Dear Uji,

Thanks for your information. I have search after some extra info in the web. On the web page of Hakone Tozan Taxi :

https://www.hakone-ms.co.jp/eng/price/

there is hourly rate, every 30 minutes 3630 Yen.
Kawaguchico is worst case 1,5 hour driving, I would expect around 11000Yen.

Is this correct ?

there is hourly rate, every 30 minutes 3630 Yen.

Hourly "tour" rates are generally based on you (and more importantly, your taxi driver) returning to your starting point. If you wanted to go only one way on a hourly fee, you would also theoretically have to pay the return trip for your driver, so it would be 3 hours, and not 1.5 hours.

I used a taxi fare calculator and it gave me 25,000 yen.
