Where do you put luggage in Hakone?

Entrust your luggage to the Hakone Baggage Service (Luggage Delivery Service) Counter within Hakone Yumoto Station and it will be delivered to your hotel. You can also use the service to send your luggage from the hotel to the station! This way, you can freely enjoy sightseeing before departure.



Hakone is designed for "hands-free" tourism, and the best place to put your luggage is the Hakone Baggage Delivery Service located at Hakone-Yumoto Station. For a small fee (usually between ¥800 and ¥1,500 per bag), you can drop your luggage off by 12:30 PM, and it will be delivered directly to your hotel or ryokan by the evening. This allows you to immediately begin the "Hakone Round Course" via the mountain railway and ropeway without dragging suitcases. Alternatively, Odawara Station and Hakone-Yumoto both feature large banks of coin lockers that can accommodate "carry-on" and "check-in" sized bags. If you are staying at a high-end ryokan, many offer a shuttle pick-up service for your bags if you call ahead. In 2026, there is also an increased presence of Yamato Transport (Kuroneko) counters, which can ship your luggage directly to your next destination (like Kyoto or Tokyo) to avoid carrying it on the busy Romancecar train.
