is it possible to spend 1 day at Mt Fuji & hakone from tokyo or at least 2 days??If you want to visit both, the Fujigoko and Hakone regions, and travel on your own, then I recommend at least two days. If you join a guided bus tour, both regions can be visited in a single day, but it is a rushed tour. How long will it take from Shibuya to Mt Fuji and from Mt Fuji to Hakone??See here: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2172.htmlAbout Ichinoya Honkan, is it far from Mt Fuji & is it a nice ryokan??It is located in Hakone.

It depends on the exact itinerary. If you complete the trip to Western Japan (Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Himeji, Nara, Kobe) within 7 days, a 7-day rail pass in combination with regular tickets might come cheaper, otherwise the 14-day pass is likely to come a little bit cheaper than regular tickets, but not by a lot.

I'm planning to buy Suica&NEX package too. Thanks

So I have to get another pass to Mt Fuji & Hakone as the JR Pass doesnt cover this?
Would this proposed itinerary be sensible:
-- 20 Days Tokyo -
--2 Day Odakyu Pass -- Hakodate Fuji Five Lakes
--7 Days travelling around on JR Rail Pass--
Matsushima Miyajima Kyoto Nikko Kamakura - for annual shrine festival Yokohama Tokyo airport

Adam, Hakone is an area near Tokyo, access is possible by Odakyu railway and as you mentioned by their Passes. Hakodate is a town in the northern part of Japan ( Hokkaido ). 6.30 h to 7 h trainride oneway. Otherwise yes, cover as much long distance travel with the JR Railpass. If you have time problems, your shorter travel is Tokyo - Kamakura - Tokyo what is Yen 1800 return if you cannot squeeze in the 7 days JR Pass. Tokyo - Yokohama by commuter train Yen 900 return. You can combine Kamakura and Yokohama to a one day trip.

z0di, I recommend the 7-day pass in combination with NEX&Suica, a free pass for Nikko and possibly a Fuji Hakone Pass. YOu can look up the details on this website.
