#Hakone #HakoneTravel #HakoneOpenAirMuseum #HakoneTravelGuide #HakoneMuseum #HakoneDayTrip #TravelWithKids ๐ Transportation: Tokyo - Hakone ๐๐ข First Leg: Take the JR train from Tokyo to Hakone-Yumoto Station, or the Shinkansen to Odawara and then transfer to the Hakone Tozan Line to Hakone-Yumoto Station. ๐๐บAvoid the Shinkansen if possible โ buying tickets and waiting for the train is a hassle, and the fare is expensive. ๐ Second Leg: From Hakone-Yumoto Station, transfer to another Hakone Tozan Line train (Gora direction) and head uphill. Get off at the Hakone Open-Air Museum Station. ๐๐ข Walk two minutes to the left from the station, and you'll arrive at the museum. ๐ฟ Admission: ๐๐บBuy tickets on-site. Adults: 2000 yen, payable by cash or Visa card. The ticket seller will offer you a choice of three languages for the park guidebook โ go for Chinese! ๐ ๐๐ข Luggage Storage: There are lockers at Hakone-Yumoto Station, Hakone Open-Air Museum Station, and the museum entrance, but the number of lockers is limited. ๐๐บ It costs 100 yen to store your luggage at the museum entrance. I arrived at Hakone-Yumoto Station at 12 p.m., and all the lockers were full. ๐ I had to carry my suitcase uphill! Not many people would bring a suitcase up the mountain like I did, right? Attention!! Keep several 100-yen coins on you โ they're handy for using the lockers. ๐ช #Tokyo ๐
