Hi, I would be going to hakone using the romance car and the hakone free pass. May i know how do i board the train back from hakone to shinjiku? Cause I did not purchase the romance car from hakone to shinjiku.

Is it a must to purchase it? And if i dont, the type of train that i board from hakone to shinjiku need to stand all the way? Cause im having my aunt and kid with me (age 60 and 6), it will be difficult for them to stand for 1 hour plus

Hi, peak hours is usually from 8-9am and after 5pm. So does it mean that peak hours at 7 or 8pm as well?

Thanks
