After doing some research. We decided to take Hakone Free Pass. We will start from Hakone-Tozan train, go to sight seeing around Hakone and will come back to Togendai and take bus to Gotemba Premium Outlet.

We will not go to Fuji, instead we will spend a night in Hakone. Do you guys have any recommendation on where to stay in Hakone? Preferable the one with onsen.

I'm planning to stop at Hakone for 1 night on the way back from Kyoto to Tokyo.

Planning to book a hotel near the Hakone station, then leave the luggage at the hotel  during the 2nd day and go sight seeing, and try my very best to make it back to Odawara station to take shinkansen to Tokyo.

Praying hard hard that I can make it back to Hakone station -> Odawara station for the Shinkansen.

1. Does anyone know which hotel is reasonable price near Hakone station?
2. What time is the last train from Hakone station to Odawara?
3. What time is the last shinkansen from Odawara to Tokyo.

Hi kingofrave89, can you share with me your sight seeing plan for Hakone using the Hakone Free Pass? I'm trying google the information but still unsure what are the nice places to go.

Thanks.

I also want to know the answer of all ur questions! haha. 

As for my itineraries in Hakone, I just simply follow this one;
Hakone Itineraries 1
Hakone Itineraries 2

hi, if it's only me and my wife 2 person and usage might be getting direction, using the apps, fb, wife might play pokemon 
do you recommend buy 2 sim card each for us or buy the travel pocket wifi?

hahaha, mabok edi is end of august.
how i wish it was end of oct

I didn't told you take out Furano/Biei means it worth to go.
Most of those blog guide writer also been Hokkaido once or twice only.....they also dunno anything...Hokkaido it self I already been there 57 times.  Enough to beat any one here to Japan record.
I told you to take out Jozankei because this place was very small and not worth to spend whole day here plus Sounkyo Autumn scenic view are 5 times more prettier than Jozankei too.

Just try to book a car for my Hokkaido Trip using tocoo (free internet plan)
