Thanks! The train type can be found at the bottom of timetable www.odakyu.jp/english/romancecar/timetable/. The 70000 trains have observation decks and marked with red rectangle with [展] at the bottom of the table. Once you found the time, go to www.odakyu.jp/english/romancecar/ and type this time and desired date into "Online Purchase System" in the middle of the page. It will get you to the "Seat availability" screen. On that screen if it says something like "Hakone 1 (GSE)", it is 70000, if it says something else in parentheses such as (MSE10 or EXE10), it is not 70000. For 70000 trains it will also tell you how many observation deck seats are available in front and back cars.
Hello , thank you for your video . Did you buy the hakone free pass ? And for luggage do you have to say you have luggage or just come and put them ? 😃
Thanks for watching! We didn't get the Hakone Free Pass, which, in retrospect, was probably a mistake. We wouldn't have saved much money, but it would have saved us time in a couple of places with tight connections. We travel only with carry-on luggage, so I cannot say for sure, but I don't remember Romancecar having any reservation system like Shinkansen. Luggage wasn't mentioned on the ticket they issued and I cannot find anything about it in Q8 in their FAQ www.odakyu.jp/english/support/faq/ So, I think it is safe to assume that you don't have to notify anyone and it is just first-come-first-serve.

Hi there great video. How did you made sure it's the 70000 train? I tried booking online and it doesn't show what train it is. Thanks!
