Big Family Japan

Hakone | Trip plan for large families

In Hakone, we found places where 6 adults can share one room both at lakeside villas and in Yumoto. From Shinjuku, the Freepass and the Romancecar set the total for 6, and the day is worked back from the ropeway's closing times (Owakudani 17:00, Togendai 16:45). At Owakudani, the official volcanic gas lines decide who in the family does not ride or does not get off. Set out here as stay, transport, things to do and what to know.
