The map below shows the trains, cablecars, ropeways, boats and bus lines covered by the Hakone Kamakura Pass:

Seat reservations can be made on the e-Romancecar website or at ticket machines and ticket offices of Odakyu stations.

   • Hakone Tozan Cablecar
   • Hakone Ropeway
   • Hakone Sightseeing Boats
   • Hakone Tozan Bus

Points of sale

The pass can be purchased as a digital pass for use on a smartphone, as a paper ticket at the Odakyu Sightseeing Service Center in Shinjuku Station or through third-party vendors, such as Japan Experience, in which case a voucher has to be exchanged to the actual pass in Japan.

Assessment

The Hakone Kamakura Pass is 220 yen cheaper than a 2-day Hakone Free Pass (6,100 yen) and Enoshima-Kamakura Free Pass (1,640 yen) combined. It will generally also come cheaper than regular tickets, because transportation around Hakone, in particular, tends to be expensive.

A further advantage of the Hakone Kamakura Pass over the two before-mentioned passes is that it allows for unlimited use of the entire Odakyu railway network, while the other two passes restrict use of Odakyu trains to a round trip between Shinjuku and their respective coverage areas. This allows pass holders to explore other attractions along the Odakyu lines or to maintain a base in Tokyo and explore Hakone in multiple side trips from Tokyo.
