This is a scheduled highway bus service from Shinjuku to Gotemba and Hakone.
A separate ticket in addition to the Hakone Freepass is required for the Shinjuku–Gotemba portion.
All seats on the Odakyu Highway Bus are reserved, so you must obtain a seat ticket beforehand. If there are unoccupied seats on the bus, you can ride without making a reservation ahead of time. Users of the Hakone Freepass must also buy a separate ticket for the Shinjuku–Gotemba portion. You can buy this seat ticket aboard the bus or at the Odakyu Highway Bus office (on the first floor of Odakyu HALC at the West Exit of Shinjuku Station) in front of the Shinjuku bus stop.
