I’d like to know if it’s feasible to take a detour to the Mishima Skywalk on the way from Hakone to Kyoto, enjoy the view of Mount Fuji, and then board the Shinkansen at Mishima Station.
It is possible to stop by the Mishima Skywalk on the day you travel from Hakone to Kyoto.
At Moto-Hakone Port, there is a bus stop for the “Mishima Station (via Mishima Skywalk)” route.
After visiting the Mishima Skywalk, you can head to Mishima Station and take the Shinkansen from there toward Kyoto.
We recommend allowing about 80 minutes for your visit to the Mishima Skywalk (excluding activities).
The walk across the suspension bridge itself takes about 10 to 15 minutes one way.
Depending on your purpose, the recommended stay times are as follows:
- Just crossing the suspension bridge to enjoy the view: 40–60 minutes
- Suspension bridge + observation deck, photos, shops, etc.: 60–90 minutes
- Enjoying meals and cafes: 90 minutes to 2 hours
- Including activities like the zip slide: 2 hours or more
Business hours are typically 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Since the purpose of this trip is to enjoy the view of Mount Fuji and to stop here while traveling from Hakone to Kyoto, we’ve estimated a stay of 80 minutes. If you plan to stop by the Mishima Skywalk on your way
from Hakone and then head to Kyoto from Mishima Station, working backward from that schedule, it’s best to arrive at the Mishima Skywalk around 9:00 a.m.
9:00–10:20: Mishima Skywalk
Around 10:20: Head toward Mishima Station
Around 11:00 AM: Arrive at Mishima Station
Then, take the Shinkansen to Kyoto
This allows you to complete the route: Hakone → Mishima Skywalk → Mishima Station → Kyoto.
See Japan’s tallest mountain from Japan’s longest suspension bridge. Be sure to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
