<Timetable>http://www.odakyu.jp/english/rc/index.html#Timetable

Simplest way to go to Hakone from Tsukuba is to use Tsukuba express (TX) to Kita-senjyu and then change to Tokyo Metro Chiyoda line. Take a special express, "Odakyu Romancecar", on the Chiyoda-line as it directly connects to Hakone. You can do this in many different ways. But this way, you change train only once and get there very fast. You do not have to go through another ticket gate, but you need to purchase ticket including express ticket. The ticket for the express is available at a booth located on the train platform where you get on the express. (You can also get the same at two other ticket counters, but they are located outside so that you have to first get outside to but the ticket in such case.) Please be aware that due to some kind of mismatching between different train companies the whole ride will go through, some doors of the express train can not be used to get on.
