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

[@TahayariDan]

The ammount of sighing while watching this video is off the charts! I've been on a similar trip to all of these places and i definitely recommend it

[@OverSoft]

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.

[@TokyoPaul]

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.

[@khususgame2578]

I warna go to japan on april.. where the recomendation for rent apartemen in Tokyo?thanks for you advice

[@perdomot]

Stay overnight in Hakone last year and it was an overall awesome experience.

[@biricikkiz7]

Beautiful Japan..

[@cholradaukkutanon1055]

I love Japan

[@richellerodriguez7567]

We spent 3 days in Kyoto. And it wasn’t enough. Would have loved to stay a week and explore more. Loved loved Kyoto!

[@京消特災1]

I’m Kyoto citizen.I’m glad to here that :)

[@byakko0785]

I love Tokyo Japan and Kyoto Japan because it is very Beautiful City .

[@ruthlimon1892]

going to japan end of march can't wait!!

[@meg-k-waldren]

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.

[@laurenabernathy5581]

I have been blessed with two whole food nods😭. Sam does such a good job and your guy's camera shots are so aesthetic. Really love the videos, wouldn't mind them being just a bit longer though. It always goes by to fast. Thank you for the videos.

[@doioz]

I knew I'd be not the only one, haha! Agree on good quality, camera work, sound and music also.

[@dnajaylin7690]

i love kyoto, there are so many buddhist statues

[@Georges_vanlife]

Welcome to Japan!

[@sweetscience1988]

really loved the short hike between Kibune-Kurama and the friendly people we met along the way. thanks for the nostaglia!

[@adama4791]

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!!

[@Mark_Dyer1]

The Hakone Caldera is magical: my partner and I visited it with a Hakone Pass three years ago, when the weather was glorious. We especially loved the (unexpected) art galleries and sculpture park. We even managed to get a glorious view of Fuji San. It's just a place to walk around.......whilst trying to forget it's inside a restless giant volcanic caldera. Staying in the Hyatt Regency Hotel helped to make our stay that bit more special.

[@kristinwight8465]

Hakone Open Air Museum is my most favorite museum! I LOVE it! This is the best trip!

[@1227norton]

Returning to Kyoto Sept. 30 for 6 glorious weeks of relaxation and culture. Thanks for the wonderful tour - Tokyo to Kyoto.

Will never forget the trip I had last Autumn. Japan is pure magical & lots of fun!

[@freshwaterlily]

I’m gonna try this route the next time I visit Japan in the summer.

[@EddieMunstar87]

I think I was there when you filmed this.. around early to mid June ? Absolutely loved japan. Hakone is a must do town... the onsens are amazing. Tokyo and Kyoto are great to visit. Love the people love the culture ... but what I love the most ...is the “way of life”.... wish i was Japanese!!!

[@paulplus3830]

Damn, no matter how long you make your videos, they always appear to be too short!

[@japanguide]

Thanks for the feedback. Based on all the requests for longer videos, we did a video which was 24 minutes covering a three day trip across Kyushu (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX-Wia2apbGXo6M). If time and resources allow we would love to do more longer videos like this. Every video is a balancing act of final video length versus production time. Thanks again for the feedback and for watching!

[@paulplus3830]

That's a 404 for me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX-Wia2apbGXo6M

@@paulplus3830 Sorry for the bad link! Looks like you found it nonetheless: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX-Wia2apbGXo6M

[@pinayladyoz8044]

Hakone is one of my favourite, we stayed full 2 days there, however when my husband and I visited there last year July the weather was not great, but still we enjoyed the ship and roaming around was amazing. Accommodations are expensive in Hakone specially in summer time where only few hotels open. Trains transport in Japan can be confusing, it's an art that you have to study well and it took us 3 days to understand and get used to it, specially in Tokyo area. Climbing to Mt. Fuji was one of the highlights of our 4 weeks Japan trip.

日本人の私でもうらやましい旅行です。日本紹介していただき、感謝。

Wow SO beautiful wish I could go brought tears to my eyes because I know I never will

[@abaadil8343]

Hey wish I saw this video before. I went to Kurama but didnt do the hike to kibune. Went straight to Kurama onsen there it was very nice

[@GreenMorningDragonProductions]

Kurama onsen is great. It was snowing on my head last time I visited.

[@lucianaborinato2993]

[@marinashusharina7018]

Thank you so much for your video. I love Kyoto so much and I was happy to watching.

[@jamesyamamoto5155]

I spent 10 days in Kyoto. After a couple days, I stopped using public transportation because I enjoyed just walking around the city, and I found so many hidden gems doing so!

[@Itami95]

Both some good memories shown for me as well as some new ideas. Thankyou.

[@jam_khan]

Excellent info, interestingly made, with nothing boring anywhere! We're planning a trip this March and this has been very helpful. Thanks :)

[@japanguide]

We hope you will enjoy your trip!

[@bluesky9855]

Love your video! I am going to Japan :)

[@emildionisio1326]

Absolutely gorgeous. Love your video.

[@ChokyoDK]

There is so much to see in Kyoto. If you really want to experience Kyoto stay there for at least 4 days.

[@TokyoTones]

Thank you for this! It's interesting to see a restaurant over a river!! I GOT TO GO THERE! ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ

[@oscartorres7689]

Not so crowded at Hakone? We'll going there next month on a Tuesday. We'll be staying at the Field Hakone Resort. What's your best advice about luggage when we arrive at Hakone-Yumoto Station? Thanks! Keep up the great job!!

[@KeithTKO]

Wished I had time for Kyoto last week! I did hakone by shinkasen but did not make it down to Kyoto....😢 Next time for sure 🙏🇯🇵💙

[@staceyk.210]

I'm so happy that I came across this video!! It's interesting because I'm planning my trip to Japan in 9/2022!! I'm hoping by then that this Covid-19 would have settled down a bit and life as we once knew it could possibly go on!! Public transportation is hugh in countries like this!! I was in Seoul last year and that's how everyone got around!! That's going to be my challenge for me as I've never used public transportation!! But I'am going to keep a open mind and hopfully by time I get there It won't be so scary to me!! I've subscribe to your channel!! And I look forward to more intel video's regarding Japan!! Thanks 4 Sharing🇺🇸❤🇯🇵

[@modtomodern]

How did you get around in Seoul (and life) without using public transport? Its really a breeze and if you make a mistake most people will help you out. You also have time to study some basic Japanese to help you out during your travels. The Japanese people are very kind and helpful you will have no problems.

[@KeithTKO]

That is fancy hotel.

[@jamescc2010]

wow very nice trip, must visit those places.

[@JCSol]

that an incredible river restaurant and i'd pay even unreasonable money to eat.

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!

Good itinerary. Give me good idea for my next trip to Japan!

[@claudinhabm4890]

Great video, congrats !

[@nikoletageorgescu2279]

Nice video, nice journey !😚

[@ReiEvangelista]

Guys, the places visited in the video are great. But they're not the only good spots in the area. 3 days is just too rushed. Take your time, sit down, enjoy the scene. Hakone alone deserves at least 2 or 3 days, much so for Tokyo and Kyoto.

[@bikerbobcat]

I'm going back to Japan for a 2 week solo trip around Tokyo and Kyoto to wander the streets to draw and paint. This video is very useful, thank you. Anyone wants to cross paths with a wandering artist I'll buy you a drink. :D

[@GamesMore247]

Great video. I was planning to go straight to Kyoto from Tokyo but might have to add Hakone now. Is there anything you would recommend booking in advance for this trip?

[@japanguide]

The accommodation and also if you are there when the kawadoko river dining is offered then a reservation would ensure you get the experience. Have a good trip!

[@janingenygard6151]

I traveled with a buddy of mine and we decided to spend a 7 day train pass first (so directly from Tokyo to Kyoto for instance, and then other places). At the 7th day we returned back to Tokyo since the train pass expired, so we spent the rest ie. 6-7 days in Tokyo until we had to take flight back home. So if you feel inclined to check out Kyoto first that may be a way to coordinate with a shorter train pass duration. While you are in Tokyo with no regional train pass, the buses and trains are still cheap - or you could then go even cheaper with 2 day bus / local train passes. Just some tips, strategy if you will :) Enjoy your trip !

[@GamesMore247]

@@janingenygard6151 thanks for the advice. However I'll be flying into Tokyo first and then departing from Osaka at the end of the 3 weeks, so that won't work for me. I'm getting the Shinkansen to Kyoto but was thinking about stopping at Hakone after watching this video. I've not found any deals or packages yet that let you get off the Shinkansen at Hakone and get back on the same day.

[@janingenygard6151]

@@GamesMore247 Right, yes that is true. If it's a single ticket it could be difficult to stop by Hakone, unless there exist some ticket with duration, like 24 hour. Dont think I have seen one such before though

[@bwohan]

Great itinerary. Btw, Hakone Open Air museum has a good collection of (less known) Picasso's art works, Henry Moore's and Carl Milles sculptures.

technically if you have a jr pass you really don't need to purchase a keihan pass correct?

[@japanguide]

The Japan Rail Pass does not cover Keihan operated trains or buses, so you would have to pay out of pocket for these if you didn't have a Keihan Pass.
