3 Day Trip from Tokyo to Kyoto via Hakone | japan-guide.com

Learn more about this trip from Tokyo to Kyoto via Hakone:

On this three day trip we'll travel from Tokyo to Kyoto, making a stop at scenic Hakone between the two. We start among the skyscrapers of Shinjuku and then explore the sights and natural beauty of Hakone. Then it's on to Kyoto to walk through the historical and charming Gion district. Finally we end with a hike and luxurious kawadoko meal in the verdant Kurama and Kibune area in the mountains to the north of Kyoto before visiting legendary Kiyomizudera and heading home. Along the way we utilize two different discount passes to save money, the Odakyu Hakone Freepass and the Kyoto Osaka Sightseeing Pass (Greater Kurama and Kibune Area).

For the Tokyo Met-Building: Go in the evening when it's dark (check the opening times).
On clear days, the view is insanely awesome.

My boys and I just came back from Japan. Absolutely stunning country, people and it's culture! Thanks mostly to your Top 5 guides, we had a blast. We took the Mt. Fuji/Kawaguchiko side trip, will try this Hakone route next time. Great job as usual!

I've planned about 80% of my next trip to Japan through your videos. You constantly capture beauty that I fell in love with while I was there. Always informative, always impressed

I live in Tokyo. I recommend Shibuya, Harajuku, and Ginza. I have been to Hakone, definitely worth going for 2-3 days. I have been to Kyoto 6 times. I recommend renting a kimono for about 35-50 USD and walking around with a friend.

Was in Hakone and Kyoto last month. Truly, TRULY, something to marvel at. 😍 Hakone/ Kyoto.
EDIT: and thank you for the upload. I too plan around your videos. Did so for the Kurobe/ Tateyama part of my last trip.

Thank you for taking us through this magical journey of a gem called Japan. I remember once my Japanese client told me, to go outside of Tokyo to know the real Japan. Now I understand the meaning of his statement. Tourists and foreigners must know that there is much more to Japan than Tokyo and the madness in that city ❤️ Kon'nichiwa Japan 🥰😇☺️

As I will be in Japan next March your content has always been fantastic for ideas and planning but this takes the cake. I love nature and this is such a nice blend of city and nature. Thank you for this amazing content!!
