If you have the energy, I definitely recommend staying until the evening. Otherwise, it feels a bit like you're missing out.
Overall, nighttime is the best part. The atmosphere, lighting, and overall experience all feel more complete.

Hakone Ropeway
From Sounzan to Togendai Station, a ropeway runs about 4km. You can ride in a gondola and look over the lush nature of Hakone mountains, Lake Ashinoko, Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay. Enjoy a skywalk for about 24 minutes.
This is pretty much a classic Hakone itinerary, and it’s hard to go wrong with it. It does feel a bit touristy overall, but the scenery is genuinely worth seeing.

Sanrio Puroland
Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.
The show was seriously adorable. It was packed with Sanrio characters the whole time, so fans will have a great time.
The stage production was thoughtfully done too. The lighting and music were both on point, and it didn’t feel thrown together at all. -

TOKYO SKYTREE(R) TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN(R)
Boasting a height of 634 meters, TOKYO SKYTREE is the world’s tallest free-standing tower which stands in the center of TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN surrounded by tourist facilities. The tower has two observation decks, Tembo Deck at a height of 350 meters and Tembo Galleria at 450 meters.
The mall downstairs is great for browsing, and there are lots of restaurant and souvenir options.
If it’s your first time in Tokyo, it’s definitely worth going up for the view. -
