Hakone Tozan Railway

Railroad buffs in particular will enjoy a ride on this small train, which includes two stretches, the more scenic of which is Hakone Yumoto to Gora.

We chose the cable car on the way home as we caught the bus up the hill on the way in and didn’t get to experience the amazing greenery of sights up and down the mountain like you can on the cable car. It may add an extra half an hour to your trip down the mountain - but well worth it.

Hakone Komagatake Ropeway

After crossing Lake Ashi I took the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway up and managed to get some views of Mount Fuji. The cable car journey was smooth and you really get to see some stunning sights.

Akechidaira Ropeway

Reviewed By ms_me801 - California, United States

After a few minutes ride, we could see an amazing view from the deck. Blue sky, blue lake, and snow made this town a winter wonderland! You need to make sure to stop by on the way to Chuzenji lake! Iroha slope is one way.

Mt. Nokogiri Ropeway

Reviewed By ermerler

My suggestion is take the ropeway one way. Either up, or down. The ropeway is great but to see everything (like the buddha and temple) you must hike down. And if you are stubborn like me and bought a round trip ticket without knowing, you must hike all the way back up afterwards... by hike I mean walk up ALL the stairs. And there are many. But it was so worth it. I took the ferry from Kurihama over. Pretty awesome day trip.

Takaotozan Cable Car

Reviewed By PhilippeJean - Ottawa, Canada

The cable car is the steepest in Japan and is one of the three ways to go to Mt Takao. There’s a chairlift or people can also go to the top by walking. The cable car is 930¥ return or 480¥ one way. It takes less then 10 min. to go to the top. From there you need another short walk (depending on the weather, icy pathway in winter) where if you’re lucky will be greeted by an a,axing view of my Fuji and Tokyo. It’s an extremely popular hike for family so best to go during the week if you like peace and quiet. Highly recommend.

Mt. Takao Chairlift

Reviewed By Wolin

The lines for the cable car were too long so we took the chair lift both ways. The view coming down was awesome. Getting on and off is easy and lots of help is provided. Much better than walking.

Toei Streetcar(Toden) Arakawa Line(Tokyo Sakura Tram)

Reviewed By TheWard

Riding this street car from beginning of end is a great way to while away a day (or half-day) in parts of Tokyo that few tourists see. Liking train travel or unique modes of transport helps. So if you like the Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway) in Kamakura, you will love this. Get a day pass and jump on and off at points that look interesting along the way. There's backstreets and laneways to explore, Sugamo (the grandma's Harajuku), and Minowabashi shopping mall, along with a million other places. Discover unique sweet shops and eateries. You will find online guides which tell you what to look out for at each stop or if you like the look of somewhere, just get off and explore and then jump back on. We made the mistake of using our Suica card and spent quite a bit of money jumping on and off, so get the day pass.
