ohh.. yea..
i think hakone area is more convenient in terms of transportation..

Can recommend me some ryokan with private onsen? all i find so far have public baths only..
i remember seeing travelling program and they have this private onsen + meal and it looks really relaxing..

You can try Tenseien Ryokan - highly recommended by a friend. But unfortunately it's not available during my travel period in March. I've booked Ichinoyu Honkan instead. However, I don't think the kaiseki is those deluxe elite type.

i planning to wake up at 3.30am then join the queue by 4.30am. still need 1 hour+? if longer than 2 hours i think i'll just go eat at daiwa instead sweat.gif

Apparently queue for Daiwa moves faster than Sushi Dai. Probably that's because they have 2 outlets next to each other and can serve more people at one go. Didn't peek into the size of Sushi Dai. However, when I was there, Daiwa didn't allow my friends to join my slot (we were already queuing) and they were asked to join the queue behind.

For me, I don't have super taste buds and I'm sure I couldn't tell the better of Sushi Dai and Daiwa so it wasn't worthwhile to spend 4-5 hours for Sushi Dai. Better off to use the 4 hours and go see Gundam.

I am sorry if my question offended you, i have been doing research on the lodging options and found several bnb that is within my budget i just need to know if there is any recommendations from you guys.

So now can I ask how cold is the temperature now in tokyo? The temperature listed on wesbite fluctuates from 10 to 20 degree celcius, so how cold is that? Will i need really thick jackets and heat tech? Never been out of malaysia, my bad.

The temperatures listed are from the lowest (mid-night) and highest (mid-day). You won't be out in the street that late right? Just take the median will do. When i was there 2 weeks back, the minimum was 7c but it's still ok with just 1 jacket during the day.

As you will be extending your trip just in Tokyo, get the Suica pass that allows you to tap in/out of train stations.

Hi,

Going to Tokyo this June.

Will visit Hakone from Shinjuku using the Hakone freepass.
Overnight at a ryokan.

Next day plan to visit Enoshima+Kamakura and then stay the night at Yokohama.

My question on transportation:  Do I use the Hakone freepass to go all the way back to Shinjuku on day 2 and go from there to Enoshima+Kamakura...? or is there a better way?
*
Nah, search for you already.

Based on the listed route, you don't need to go back to Shinjuku. So i would think it's more economical to exclude the Shinjuku-Hakone-Shinjuku in your Hakone Freepass package and buy the Shinjuku-Hakone bus/train separately.
