Reply To: Wheelchair-accessible public transportation from Hakone to Lake Kawaguchi
Yikes… not finding anything either.
Actually the buses I’m finding are local buses (two transfers) with lots of stops. The first bus In Hakone should be accessible but not sure about the other two…
I don’t think it is really a common route as most buses go between Tokyo and Kawaguchiko or Tokyo and Hakone etc. Unfortunately the vast majority of coach buses are still inaccessible. Google suggests going back to Shinjuku by train and then coach to Kawaguchiko if you put in “accessible route”. Though not sure the bus to Kawaguchiko is accessible….
It is about an hour by car, and the taxi price would be a bit over ¥20,000.
