The Hakone Freepass circuit is a fantastic opportunity to see some of the major sights in the Hakone area, especially for people with a limited amount of time. The Hakone Freepass is a "all-in-one" ticket, which allows you to use 8 different means of transportation, including Hakone Ropeway and Japan's oldest mountain railway, the Hakone Tozan Line—all starting from Tokyo. The pass is available at any Odakyu Line station and comes in 2 and 3 day varieties.
