Travel to Hakone Enjoying Spectacular Views from the Romancecar | Day Trip from Shinjuku Station

Today we will take a fantastic trip with the sleek Romancecar from Shinjuku Station to Hakone and back, in the rear observation car, with its large curved windows which make for great views of the scenery on the way.

In Hakone, we will visit the acclaimed Hakone Open-Air Museum, with its exceptional outdoor sculptures and exhibits, experience a delicious sushi lunch in a small, family-run restaurant, take the idyllic “Hydrangea Railway”, and make the most of a rainy day.

Filmed on 19 July, 2022.
