Yes, booking in advance is recommended for popular museums and private onsen experiences to secure your spot and often to access exclusive online discounts.
Many attractions are family-friendly, such as the Yunessun spa resort which has kid-friendly pools. While major stations and museums are accessible, some natural trails and older shrines may have steps that are difficult for strollers or wheelchairs.
The 'Hakone Loop' is the most popular route, utilizing the Tozan Railway, Cable Car, Ropeway, Sightseeing Cruise, and bus network to circle the major sights efficiently.
