If you will visit Hakone, Kamakura, and Enoshima during this trip, you may consider purchasing the Hakone-Kamakura Tour Pass and the Enoshima-Kamakura Tour Pass, and then arrange a 3-day itinerary to visit Hakone, Enoshima, and Kamakura. place.

However, instead of buying two different travel tickets separately, you can actually choose to buyHakone Kamakura Freepass, so that you can save more package budget, but you can still get the same ticket discount.

Among the many travel passes, the Hakone Kamakura Pass can be said to be the most easily overlooked one. So today this article will focus on sharing with you the characteristics of the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass.

What is the best itinerary to use the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass?

Generally speaking, the Hakone-Kamakura Travel Pass is very suitable for a 3-day itinerary from Tokyo to Hakone and Kamakura. Because the entire Hakone-Kamakura Pass includes the Kamakura Enoden train, the Odakyu Electric Railway train connecting Shinjuku, Tokyo to Kamakura, Enoshima, and most of the sightseeing transportation in the entire Hakone area.

Basically, within the 3-day itinerary, as long as you use the same travel pass to depart for Hakone, Kamakura, and Enoshima, you can complete the itinerary in these two areas without paying any additional transportation fees.

Itinerary for the first day

Because the Hakone-Kamakura Pass allows you to take the Odakyu Electric Railway unlimited times within 3 days, and the Odakyu Electric Railway train is the main means of transportation connecting Tokyo to Enoshima and Hakone Yumoto. So you can consider visiting Hakone first to startHakone two days and one nightThe itinerary, or first set out toEnoshima Day Tour,Kamakura day tripitinerary.

Which arrangement should be chosen for the itinerary on the first day actually depends on where your accommodation will be arranged on the first day and the second day.

If you stay at a hotel in Kamakura on the first day and a hotel in Hakone on the second day:
Such an itinerary can be arranged to visit different temples and shrines in Kamakura in depth on the first day, and then visit Kamakura's shopping street in the morning of the second day, and set off to visit Enoshima.

If you stay in a hotel in Tokyo on the first day and a hotel in Hakone on the second day:
Because it is necessary to return to Tokyo at night, and it takes a lot of traffic time between Enoshima and Hakone, the itinerary of Enohako and Kamakura is condensed into the itinerary of the first day, and you can start directly in the next morning Arrive at Hakone Yumoto Station and start a two-day, one-night itinerary for Hakone.

If you stay at a hotel in Hakone on the first day and a hotel in Hakone on the second day:
If you plan to arrange a 3-day itinerary like this, maybe the hot springs and scenic spots in Hakone are the focus of your itinerary this time? So you can arrange it in the itinerary of the first day, spend half a day focusing on visiting the shopping street in Kamakura and experiencing the food of Enoshima, and then leave for Hakone in the afternoon. In this way, you can check into the reserved hot spring hotel room on time.

Itinerary for the second day

The itinerary for the second day is basically based on visiting different scenic spots in Hakone. Because the charges for the Hakone Kamakura Travel Pass are not cheap, most of the cost of the entire travel pass is designed to let you take the transportation in Hakone. Therefore, it is highly recommended to spend a whole day taking Hakone's sightseeing transportation once, and you can easily get back the cost of the entire Hakone-Kamakura Tour Pass.

If you can take the Hakone Pirate Sightseeing Cruise and the Hakone Ropeway on the second day, you can save about ¥2,700 in transportation fees by using the Hakone Kamakura Free Pass, that is, you can get back the entire Hakone Kamakura Pass The cost of 30%.

Moreover, the bus fare from Hakone-Yumoto Station to Moto-Hakone Port, the Hakone Tozan Cable Car, and the Hakone Tozan Railway have not been calculated. Basically, as long as you take all the transportation in the Hakone area once, you can save the transportation fee of about ¥4500, which is about the cost of the entire Hakone Kamakura Pass 60%.

Itinerary for the third day

On the morning of the third day, I believe you will choose to stay in the hot spring hotel before leaving at the last moment. Therefore, in the itinerary arrangement on the third day, generally there is only about 5 hours of sightseeing time from noon to afternoon to plan the itinerary. you can choose to visitHakone Glass Forest Museum, or set off again toEnoshimaVisit the cats, watch the sunset, and finally take the Odakyu Electric Railway back to Shinjuku Station in Tokyo. These are the itineraries that can effectively use the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass.

Transportation included in the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass

As I said just now, the Hakone-Kamakura Pass is a major sightseeing transportation that includes Hakone, Enoshima, and Kamakura at the same time. So you can use a Hakone Kamakura Pass to take Odakyu Electric Railway, Enoden, and the following Hakone special transportation.

Reasons to choose the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass

If you pay attention to the characteristics of different travel passes, you will find that the Hakone-Kamakura Travel Pass is actually a discount package formed by combining the Hakone Free Pass and the Enoshima-Kamakura Travel Pass.

Among the three travel passes, I will choose the Hakone-Kamakura Travel Pass instead of buying the Hakone Travel Pass, Enoshima-Kamakura Travel Pass separately, because the total expenditure will be cheaper. Take the price of the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass as an example. The current price is ¥7520, compared to the Hakone Freepass (2 days) which is currently on sale for ¥6100, and the Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass which is currently on sale for ¥1640 . If you choose to buy the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass, you can save ¥220 and get a package with the same content.

In other words, if you plan to visit Hakone, Kamakura, and Enoshima for three consecutive days, buying one Hakone-Kamakura Free Pass will be more favorable than buying two different free passes.

How to purchase the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass

If you plan to buy the Hakone-Kamakura Tour Pass, you can choose to buy it at the Odakyu Electric Railway Customer Service Center at the West Exit of Shinjuku Station. You only need to explain to the on-site staff that you plan to purchase the Hakone-Kamakura Tour Pass and provide your passport for registration.

Another method is toBook the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass, and get additional discounts. Because compared to buying the Hakone Kamakura Tour Pass on the spot, you can get an additional discount of about 5% if you book before departure. If you have already decided on your daily itinerary and the means of transportation you need to take, you can reduce the time spent queuing at the scene by purchasing the Hakone-Kamakura Freepass in advance.
