JR Mishima Stn via Bus to Moto-hakone

hi there does anyone had the timetable for bus from moto-hakone to JR Mishima Stn and can I use the Hakone Freepass for the bus? Any idea how do we go to Gotemba Factory outlet from Moto-Hakone Bus Terminal, and the timetable for going and return. What time is the last bus for Hakone Yumoto and Odawara to Moto-Hakone and how long is the travel time and if heavy traffice how long will it take to reach? Last but not last would also need the bus timetable from Hakone Yumoto and Odawara to Moto-Hakone. Would be staying at The Prince Hakone Hotel at Lake Ashi. Any idea is the hotel good? Understand that there's no food available around the hotel expect the resturant. Is there lots of food and convenient store at Moto-Hakone bus terminal? Thanks in advance

(the departure times with a star don't operate in winter)

and can I use the Hakone Freepass for the bus?

Yes.

Any idea how do we go to Gotemba Factory outlet from Moto-Hakone Bus Terminal, and the timetable for going and return.

You have a few options. Basically, you can catch a shuttle bus to the outlet from Gotemba Station. from Moto-Hakone you can get to Gotemba Station by bus (2 transfers required) or boat and bus (one transfer from boat to bus required).

From the Prince Hotel, it is much easier, as you can take the Odakyu Hakone Highway Bus directly from the hotel to Gotemba Station.

What time is the last bus for Hakone Yumoto and Odawara to Moto-Hakone

Here is the bus timetable for departures from Hakone-Yumoto:

And from Odawara:

and how long is the travel time and if heavy traffice how long will it take to reach?

The usual travel time is about 30 minutes from Hakone-Yumoto to Moto-Hakone. An additional 20 minutes between Odawara and Moto-Hakone. Delays due to traffic jams depends on how bad the traffic jams are. If it gets worse, I think that you could lose about an hour in the traffic jams.

Would be staying at The Prince Hakone Hotel at Lake Ashi.

Note that the hotel is not located in Moto-Hakone. It is best accessed by the Izuhakone buses, which are not covered by the Hakone Free Pass:

Any idea is the hotel good?

Yes, it is a very good hotel, newly renovated. The best Prince Hotel I have stayed at so far. I assume you refer to "The Prince Hakone".

Understand that there's no food available around the hotel expect the resturant.

That's right. The hotel has various restaurants to choose from.

Is there lots of food and convenient store at Moto-Hakone bus terminal?

Moto-Hakone has some tourist oriented, relatively cheap restaurants, but most of them close relatively early by around 6pm when the daytime tourists have left.

Hi Uji Thanks for the reply. Would like to check the following.

Does the timetable show the depature from Moto-Hakone to Mishima or the other way round and how long is the travel time with and without traffic jam if depart say 12pm or 1pm?

For the Gomtemba Factory outlet, you suggest to take the Odakyu Hakone Highway Bus directly from the hotel, is this bus at the bus stop which's like 5mins walk from the hotel? And is there a timetable for this bus on going and return and how long is the travel time? When reach Gomtemba Stn we should take the free shuttle service to the outlet right and is there a timetable for it too?

Here is the bus timetable for departures from Hakone-Yumoto:

From the two pdf link given by you, it seems that the last bus is around 2100hrs but the hotel tell me that the last bus is like 1900hrs to hakonemachi, and does the 2 bus above pass by moto-hakone or end at moto-hakone??? Please advise.

Is it possible for me to walk from Moto-Hakone Terminal back to the hotel and how long will it take me?

The link above only shows me Prince hotel website and nothing about Izuhakone bus please advise how this bus works, where it operate from and to? And the timetable please.


Once again thanks a million.

Does the timetable show the depature from Moto-Hakone to Mishima or the other way round

It shows departures from Moto-Hakone bound for Mishima.

and how long is the travel time with and without traffic jam if depart say 12pm or 1pm?

The scheduled travel time from Moto-Hakone to Mishima Station is around 50 minutes.

For the Gomtemba Factory outlet, you suggest to take the Odakyu Hakone Highway Bus directly from the hotel, is this bus at the bus stop which's like 5mins walk from the hotel?

The closest stop is called Hakone-en near the ropeway station, which is not far from the Prince Hotel.

And is there a timetable for this bus on going and return and how long is the travel time?

Here is the timetable in Japanese:
http://www.odakyu-hakonehighway.co.jp/route1/img/time_up.pdf

箱根園 (2nd line) means Hakone-en
御殿場駅 (about 3/4th down) means Gotenba Station

The one way trip takes 50 minutes.

Here is the timetable in the opposite direction:

When reach Gomtemba Stn we should take the free shuttle service to the outlet right and is there a timetable for it too?

From the official website:
Buses Leave for the Premium Outlets at every-hour after 10, 30. and 50min. from JR Gotemba Station:
http://www.premiumoutlets.co.jp/en/gotemba/access/index.php

From the two pdf link given by you, it seems that the last bus is around 2100hrs but the hotel tell me that the last bus is like 1900hrs to hakonemachi, and does the 2 bus above pass by moto-hakone or end at moto-hakone?

Izuhakone Buses, which operate directly from Odawara and Hakone-Yumoto to the Prince Hotel stop service around 19:00 (note that Izuhakone Buses are not covered by the Hakone Free Pass). However, the buses to Moto-Hakone continue to run until around 21:00. They stop at Moto-Hakone and terminate in nearby Hakone-machi.

But note that it is still a long way from Moto-Hakone to the Prince Hotel!

Is it possible for me to walk from Moto-Hakone Terminal back to the hotel and how long will it take me?

It is possible, but watch out for cars, since you will be walking along the road. Furthermore, it will probably be completely dark. The distance is about three kilometers, or 45-60 minutes on foot. I recommend to take a taxi, instead.
