Odakyu Hakone will revise the fares for the Hakone Ropeway and Hakone Pirate Ship on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, and Odakyu Electric Railway will also revise the fares for the special ticket “Hakone Freepass”.
Two pieces of the “Hakone Golden Course”
The ropeway and sightseeing boat that make up the “Hakone Golden Course,” a circular route around popular tourist spots, have submitted a notification of fare revision to the government in order to continue investing in facilities to improve safety and appeal amid prolonged high prices and labor shortages. The current one-way fare for the Hakone Ropeway (for adults, the same below) is 1,500 yen regardless of the ride section, but after the revision it will be 2,000 yen, a 500 yen increase. The round-trip fare will also increase from the current 2,500 yen to 3,000 yen.
The one-way fare for the Hakone Pirate Ship between Togendai Port and Hakone-machi Port/Motohakone Port is currently 1,200 yen, but after the revision it will be 1,700 yen, a 500 yen increase. The round-trip fare will be revised from 2,220 yen to 3,000 yen. The group fares for both the ropeway and the pirate ship will remain the same, but the group fare for the ropeway will be raised from 15 or more people to 25 or more people.
Pass prices for foreign visitors to Japan will also increase
In line with these fare revisions, the Hakone Freepass, which includes a round-trip ticket on the Odakyu Line and a round-trip ticket that allows unlimited rides on eight rides in the Hakone area, will also see a change in price for both paper and digital tickets from October. The price of a two-day ticket departing from Shinjuku Station will increase from the current 6,100 yen to 7,100 yen, and a three-day ticket from 6,500 yen to 7,500 yen. The price of each ticket will increase by 1,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for children.
In addition, the “Fuji-Hakone Pass” and “Hakone-Kamakura Pass” exclusively for foreign tourists visiting Japan will also increase in price. The prices of the Hakone Freepass departing from and arriving in the Odawara/Hakone area and Gotemba/Mishima, the “Hakone Freepass ‘Hakochike’ Plus” which includes a facility use ticket, and the “Owakudani Ticket” will also be revised, and some products will be reviewed at the same time. The Odakyu Group is asking for understanding of the price increase, saying, “We will strive to create an environment where you can encounter new experiences and attractions and enjoy them safely and comfortably.”
