JR Kanto Area Pass

Most people know about the great value of a JR East Pass which lets you travel on the trains and bullet trains around eastern Japan as much as you like for your chosen period. There is a lesser known sibling to this pass that lets you get up to this area as well as several other great tourist destinations - the JR Kanto Area Pass

The adult ticket is 8,000 yen for three days unlimited travel within the area. You can also pay a supplement if you plan to head further afield (e.g. up to Yuzawa costs an extra 1,000 yen). Usually the trip for the airport to Jomo-kogen one way costs more than this ticket, so it is great value, especially if you are trying to take see a lot in a short time.

If you are planning to come up here for a showshoe tour or a quick winter break, this might just be a good option.
