Hi there,

From where in Hakone? General I'd advise using the Shinkansen from Odawara to Tokyo, then take a local train to Shinjuku and from there the ltd. express train Azusa to Shinjuku.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi there,

The Azusa is a ltd. express train operated by JR East. So it is covered by the JR Pass. There is no direct train from Tokyo station.

Thank you
What will be the total duration of the combination you suggested, from Odawara to Matsumoto?

one more question please: would it not be faster to go from Odawara to Nagoya by shinkansen, than from Nagoya to Matsumoto by shinono ltd. express?
