What other travelers are saying about Hakone Ropeway
The connecting point where one takes the Ropeway to Owakudani, Hakone. If you have time, can cater some 15-30 mins for a footbath here at the rooftop, with a view, just before the entrance to the Ropeway.

● The ride over the Owakudani Volcanoes was exhilarating. 😅💜
We had a fun time visiting the rope way! It was so cool to see the volcanic activity, but the rope way section that takes over the top of the more active parts was closed for maintenance. We chose to take the sky bucket down to the lake instead and weren’t disappointed. The views of Fuji were so pretty. It’s a little pricey, as is the food, but it was definitely a fun experience and memories made.
We got a great view of Mount Fuji from the cable car. Definitely best to go early as it wasn’t visible on our way back in the afternoon.
It’s worth doing the boat trip over lake ashi. If you’re going to do both and get any other public transport I think it works out cheaper to get the ‘hakone free pass’. It’s not wells advertised so we didn’t know about it until after.
