Round-trip transportation options within Hakone and from Tokyo are provided according to your booking choice—confirm whether you selected public transport or private car at checkout.
Onsen visits are optional and usually require an additional entrance fee paid on the day; some baths have gender or tattoo restrictions, so check ahead.
