Odakyū Tourist Information Center

The Odakyū Tourist Information Center in Tokyo serves as the starting point for travellers heading into the Fuji-Hakone-Izu region and beyond. Located within the Odakyū network, which has connected central Tokyo to the Kanagawa countryside since the Odakyū Electric Railway opened in 1927, the centre provides multilingual assistance and issues the Hakone Free Pass, the all-in-one travel pass that covers the Odakyū Romance Car and a wide range of transport within the Hakone area, including the mountain railway, ropeway, and lake cruise.

The Hakone Free Pass remains the most practical way to explore Hakone's volcanic landscapes, open-air museums, and views of Mount Fuji, and the information centre is the recommended place to purchase and plan around it. Staff can advise on routes, accommodation areas, and seasonal conditions across the region, making this a useful first stop for visitors arriving into Shinjuku who intend to travel beyond the city.
