About This Service
The journey from central Tokyo to Hakone covers approximately 90 km, winding through the outskirts of Yokohama and into the mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture. Via the Tomei Expressway and Odawara-Atsugi Road, the drive takes roughly 90–120 minutes depending on traffic. By private chauffeur, that time is yours — no overhead luggage shelves, no stranger seated beside you, no announcements, no rushing for the right connection at Odawara Station.
Many visitors combine the Hakone journey with a stop at Gotemba Premium Outlets or Oyama town. Octoshell's itinerary is entirely flexible: request a 30-minute outlet stop, a scenic route via Lake Ashi, or a detour to Owakudani volcanic valley — all at no extra charge within the flat rate, as long as the total journey remains reasonable. Your chauffeur is a dedicated professional, not a meter-running taxi driver.
The flat rate of ¥70,000 applies to most central Tokyo locations to Hakone town, Hakone-Yumoto, Gora, Sengokuhara, or any of the 17 areas within the Hakone open-air museum and resort zone. Luxury ryokan guests traveling with heavy luggage, kimono trunks, or golf bags will appreciate the Alphard's rear cargo space and the chauffeur's white-gloved assistance at hotel entrances.
For the return journey from Hakone to Tokyo, the same flat rate applies. Some guests prefer an early-morning return to catch a connection at Haneda or Narita — Octoshell handles seamless onward connections, meaning your driver waits while you check out, loads luggage, and proceeds directly to the airport. One booking, total peace of mind.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
01How much is a private car from Tokyo to Hakone?
Octoshell charges a flat rate of ¥70,000 for the Tokyo to Hakone transfer in a Toyota Alphard (up to 6 passengers). All highway tolls and parking are included. A Toyota Hiace for larger groups is available at approximately 10–15% more.
02How long does the Tokyo to Hakone drive take?
Approximately 90–120 minutes under normal traffic conditions via the Tomei Expressway and Odawara-Atsugi Road. Allow an extra 30 minutes during peak weekends or Golden Week.
03Can I stop at Gotemba Premium Outlets on the way to Hakone?
Yes. A stop at Gotemba Premium Outlets (approx. 30–60 minutes) can be included in the itinerary at no extra charge within the ¥70,000 flat rate, provided the total journey time remains reasonable.
04Is Octoshell's Hakone transfer better than the Romancecar train?
For groups of 3 or more, heavy luggage, or ryokan stays requiring door-to-door service, a private chauffeur is significantly more convenient. The Romancecar is economical for solo or duo travel but requires transfers, timetables, and luggage handling on your own.
05Does the Hakone transfer include the return journey?
The ¥70,000 flat rate covers a single journey (one way). The return journey from Hakone to Tokyo is the same ¥70,000 and can be booked separately or as a round trip.
