JR Flex Rail Ticket: Tokyo to Hakone Round-Trip Bullet Train Ticket & Coupon

Fun Hakone Day

Reviewed by: Noli from Florida, 2020/02/13

It was a little confusing to find the office where we had to exchange the vouchers for tickets, and it took more than 30 mins to get them because the lady at the counter had to keep validating something at the back.

But once we got the tickets, it was smooth sailing all the way. Took the 9am'ish bullet train to Hakone, was there in about half an hour, then had to find the office to claim the included bus tickets, which was tucked away in a little office at the back corner and outside of the train station.

There was a nice lady at the bus terminal that gave us the bus schedule - try to get that sheet so you don't spend a lot of time waiting for the bus.

We headed out to Hakone Open Air museum which was SUPER nice and had a lot more artwork on display than expected, had a quick foot bath (bring a little towel so you don't have to buy one, but if you forget you can get one for 1000Y at a vending machine!), a fast lunch, then headed out to Lake ashi for a ferry to the Ropeway, went up the mountain for AMAZING views, but shy Mt Fuji-san was covered in clouds (if you want a chance to see Mt Fuji - make sure you go early, in the afternoon there are already lots of clouds), then we went back towards Yamamoto station for an onsen experience at Hakone Yuryo - once you get past the butt naked embarassment it's sooooooo relaxing!

Then caught the bullet train back home.
Wonderful Hakone day!! Hope to come back adn visit another town soon!

JR Flex Rail Ticket: Tokyo to Mishima Area Bullet Train Ticket & Coupon

Travel conveniently to Mishima

Reviewed by: Marlon, 2020/01/28

We redeemed Veltra’s voucher at the Tokai Tour office in Tokyo station at exactly 10am and travelled to Mishima via the first available shinkansen. Luckily we were able to get seats at the unreserved car; ride was very fast and convenient as expected. We stayed for one night nearby area and checked in a ryokan with onsen. The next day we redeemed the 1 day Tokai bus pass and entrance ticket in Mishima Skywalk. As it was cloudy day we were not able to see Mt Fuji but we still enjoy our trip. We used the return ticket to Tokyo at our own convenient time. Highly recommended for tourist who would like to experience riding Shinkansen and visit Mishima Skywalk and do sightseeing at their own phase.

JR Flex Rail Ticket: Tokyo to Mishima Area Bullet Train Ticket & Coupon

Excellent train ticket package for visit to Numazu and Uchiura!

Reviewed by: Sunnay, 2020/01/20

This package is a must get for visit to Numazu or Uchiura!

We used this package as part of pilgrimage tour to Numazu and Uchiura, where popular anime series Lovelive Sunshine. The package includes ticket to Mishima, which is the closest Shinkansen station.

Pickup ticket is easy, we just went to the tour office at Shinagawa station, present the vouchers, and got the tickets. This save lots of time especially during rush hours when the ticket office has long queue.

Shinkansen is great as always. It is fast, comfortable, and reliable. The train ride from Shinagawa to Mishima took around an hour. Be sure to check out the Bento in stations as they are all delicious.

From Mishima it is a short one stop train ride to Numazu. Numazu is a great small Japan town, which has a different feel to large cities like Tokyo or Osaka. It still retains feel of older Japan before the tourist boom in the last 10-15 years. You won't be able to find a tax free shops in Numazu, which is always a good sign for real authentic Japanese experience.

We visited Awashima Hotel for lunch, which is great value for the quality of the meal. The boat ride to Awashima island should have great view of Mount Fuji, unfortunately we went on a cloudy day.

Numazu also have a great fish market at Numazu Port, with lots of fresh seafood and restaurant similar to the fish market in Tokyo. We definitely recommend Numazu Burger, which has the best fish filet burger we have ever tasted.

Fan of Lovelive Sunshine and Aqours will definitely want to visit Numazu to visit all the spots that appeared in the anime and movie, such as the famous beach, cafe, shopping arcade, and the stamp rally.

Overview we highly recommend getting this Flex Rail ticket to anyone visiting Mount Fuji area and Numazu!

JR Flex Rail Ticket: Tokyo to Mishima Area Bullet Train Ticket & Coupon

Not Recommended to Use if You Plan to Visit Mishima for One Day Only

Reviewed by: myebautista, 2019/12/06

We were able to redeem the voucher after lunch, this is not enough as Mishima Skywalk closes by 5 pm. We were not informed by the JR Office that we won't be able to catch the Skywalk, they should have suggested to redeem the voucher the next day. They did not inform us.

After a 55 minute Shinkansen ride, we arrive at Mishima around 3:30 pm, after about 30 minutes of Google Translated communication with the Bus office staff, we finally realised we won't be able to use our Skywalk ticket because the last bus going back to Mishima train station would have already departed once we ride the last bus going to Skywalk. That means we won't be able to use the Unlimited 1 Day bus pass and the Skywalk ticket. It was also raining hard that day. The lady in the desk of the Bus office was very helpful, and even found an english speaking lady from the Tours Office to help us understand that there won't be any bus going back from Skywalk if we take the last bus to Skywalk.

This is ideal if you plan to stay at least one day in Mishima and use the unlimited bus pass the next day.

We weren't able to refund the Mishima Skywalk admission ticket and bus pass.

The trip was fine but I though that Mt Fuji is a lot closer to be seen based on the description Mt Fuji area .... is not true, it is very far from it, I think Veltra is really misrepresented what is this trip for ....disappointed

Be aware if you want to go to Mt Fuji, this is not what you want to book, do more research and get a different trip, I wasted our money but we did the best of it and enjoy the train trip and the skyline....
