Description
Enjoy sunset views of Mount Fuji from Japan's best observation train - the Odakyu Romancecar 70000 Series GSE, running between Hakone and Tokyo.
This video will show you the best way to travel between the stunning Hakone area and Tokyo using the Hakone Tozan Line mountain railway and the Limited Express Romancecar.
The Romancecar is an Odakyu limited express train with reserved seating. It links Shinjuku with the popular holiday spots of Hakone, Enoshima and Kamakura. Reserve an observation deck seat on the front or back car of an Odakyu 70000 series train and enjoy the very best view of the countryside.
Traversing the mountainside, Hakone Tozan Railway is one of Japan's few mountain railways. Enjoy the scenery and be wowed as the train descends steep slopes between Gora and Hakone-Yumoto.
