With a JR pass you can reserve for this train using the JR East reservation system, choose Shinjuku->Otsuki and then make sure to select Fuji Excursion (train leaves 3-4 times per day in the morning). After Otsuki station you can keep your seat and pay the conductor for the Fujikyuu part of the trip (~1770¥) which is not included in the pass.

This is awesome to have a clear idea what to expect. I intend to do this day trip by myself. Got a few questions , please help me out. Once I get to Kawaguchiko, is it a walkable place? I mean can I get to the lake, the rope by walking? or I need to get the bus? Is it worthy to pass for the sighseeing bus? You showed the journey on the Fuji Excusion , is this the only train that will take me to Kawaguchiko? or is there another one cheaper? Appreciate your help. Greetings from CR- Toby

@ONEGOODDREAM 2 месяца назад

Hi, once you get to Kawaguchiko station, it's not a walkable distance to the lake. you can take a local bus to get to the lake, where all the ropeway and ferry are. I haven't tried the sightseeing bus so I can't tell. The Fuji Excursion is the only direct, no transfer train from Shinjuku station to Kawaguchiko Station. you can also take a bus from Shinjuku station to Kawaguchiko Station with no transfer too, it takes a little bit longer time, but it's a bit cheaper too.

@ONEGOODDREAM 5 месяцев назад

you can buy a fuji excursion ticket to Shimo-Yoshida station, and then walk to Chureito Pagoda. After that, if you want to continue to Kawaguchiko, just take a normal train or bus (about 15min).

When fuji excursion sold out, and you are holding jr pass, then you can choose azusa 3 from shinjuku to otsuki at 7.30 am (shinjuku - matsumoto 4-12 cars), azusa 3 and FE is the same train. The different just FE 1-3 cars, azusa 4-12 cars. So when the train arrived at otsuki station, you just need to change the cars to 1-3 cars. At otsuki station the train will separate 1-3 cars to kawaguchiko and 4-12 cars to matsumoto. If you choose train not the same time with fuji excursion, then you must change the platform for transit to the local train to kawaguchiko which is its spend about 1 hour

Can I use a Jr pass in riding the fuji excursion train?

yes, the jr pass covers from Shinjuku to Otsuki station. From Otsuki station to Kawaguchiko station you need to buy a ticket. so before you go, go to a jr ticket office and buy the ticket there.

Konnichiwa Yoko! How does the train work if I buy a seat reservation on the Asuza? I read I need to transfer to the Fuji excursion cars at Otsuki station, but do we just sit in open (red) seats or do we go standing after we transfer? Unfortunately, it seems the Fuji excursion is already unavailable for the dates I am looking into. The return by train is also confusing because I am unsure how the Fuji Kyuko line works from Kawaguchiko to Otsuki since I can reserve again from Otsuki to Shinjuku but unsure of the times/reservation for the first portion of the trip from Kawaguchiko to Otsuki.

@ONEGOODDREAM 11 месяцев назад

Hi! you should be able to reserve a seat on the Azusa too. but if it's too confusing, you can take a bus instead. the expressway bus also departs from Shinjuku station and goes to Kawaguchiko station (similar to the train). if you take the bus, no need to transfer or switch, it does directly to Kawaguchiko station. check out the bus here: shinjuku-busterminal.co.jp/en/ the bus station is in the same building with Shinjuku JR station New South Exit.

hi, yes, that is correct. if you buy a ticket from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko, you don't pay any extra fee. and when you buy the ticket (even at a machine), you can select a direct train or a non-direct train (which stops at Otsuki).

@ONEGOODDREAM Год назад

hi, 1) it depends on the train you take. if you take the same train that we did, Fuji Excursion, you don't need to transfer at Otsuki station. if you take the Kaiji or Azusa, you need to transfer at Otsuki station. actually the Fuji Excursion and Kaiji, Azusa are just different cars on the same train. Car 1-3: Fuji Excursion. Car 4-12: Kaiji, Azusa. if you can't get a ticket on the Fuji Excursion, just get a ticket on the Kaiji / Azusa instead and transfer at Otsuki station to the Fujikyu line to get to Kawaguchiko station. 2) I'm not sure about the bus price, it depends on your distance. you can use the Suica card (or any other ic card) for this bus. if not, you can pay by cash on the bus.

This was a useful video! Didnt know about the Fuji Express until I came across this video. So thank you! I'm still confused about some things so I would appreciate if anyone can help out, as I'll be going to Japan at the start of next year! I'm sorry if I missed out if the information was mentioned. I've been to Japan before, so I have my SUICA card, which can get me to Shinjuku. When I reach Shinjuku JR, I'm assuming I have to get a separate ticket for the Fuji Excursion to go all the way to Kawaguchiko right? Does anyone know how far in advance I can get tickets? If possible, I'd like to purchase them as soon as I land, even if my stay in Fuji is a week later. Thank you!

Hi, usually train tickets can be bought 1 month in advance. "I'm assuming I have to get a separate ticket for the Fuji Excursion to go all the way to Kawaguchiko right?" --correct. this is called express ticket (or tokyu-ken 特急券 in Japanese). you can buy this ticket at ticket vending machines (the ones with shinkansen marks) or at JR ticket offices.

@s0lgent Год назад

@@ONEGOODDREAM Hello again, thanks for the response! I have been mapping out my itinerary and its almost ready. Just want to clarify my doubts, all I'll need to board the fuji excursion are my SUICA & the 特急券, which I can purchase at JR ticket office, correct? I'm also curious about the trip back, from Fuji back to Tokyo, are the procedures the same? I appreciate the help. Thank you!

Do I need to transfer at Otsuki station?

@ONEGOODDREAM Год назад

it depends on the train you take. if you take the same train that we did, Fuji Excursion, you don't need to transfer at Otsuki station. if you take the Kaiji or Azusa, you need to transfer at Otsuki station. actually the Fuji Excursion and Kaiji, Azusa are just different cars on the same train. Car 1-3: Fuji Excursion. Car 4-12: Kaiji, Azusa. if you can't get a ticket on the Fuji Excursion, just get a ticket on the Kaiji / Azusa instead and transfer at Otsuki to the Fujikyu line to get to Kawaguchiko station.

I watched the video and it's a great help. May I ask how much is the ticket from Shinjuku JR station to Kawaguchiko? Thank you

@ONEGOODDREAM Год назад

Thank you! the one-way ticket Shinjuku-Kawaguchiko by this train is 4,123 yen if you pay by IC card. a few yen more expensive if you pay by cash.

hi there. I did not know you can see mt Fuji by the lake rather than hiking. If for a daytour, what’s the best time to go and how long is the travel from tokyo to Kawaguchiko station? And you mentioned last train is 530pm? I just dont want to get stuck. Thanks in advance Feb 2023

Thank you for putting together this video. I'm just wondering a couple things. 1) You said to make sure to go to the Shinjuku JR Station and not the subway for boarding the Fuji Express. We are staying in Ginza and the way I think it works for us, is that we will board at Tokyo Station (subway) and take it to Shinjuku Station (Subway). Then at Shinjuku Station (Subway), we will walk to the Shinjuku JR Station (which I'm guessing is 5 minutes or so and in the same building). 2) I'm assuming I will need to buy the Fuji Express ticket in advance, so is there a website that I can do this at prior to coming to Japan ? Thank you so much 😊😊😊

@ONEGOODDREAM Год назад

Thank you for watching! 1) if you can walk to Tokyo JR station, it'll be more convenient for you. then you can take the JR Chuo Line (JC) to Shinjuku, switch to the Fuji Excursion, which is in the same building. if you take the subway to Shinjuku then you need to walk from Shinjuku subway station to Shinjuku JR station, which is not in the same building at all. 2) i'm not aware of a website that you can buy this ticket online though. i guess you have to come and buy it here. hope this helps. cheers.

@DavidSamui Год назад

@@ONEGOODDREAM Thank you so much, that helps a bunch. So, instead of walking to the Tokyo Subway, we will walk to Tokyo JR Station. Still learning how the Tokyo transportation system works 😊

unless you're comfortable with buying tickets at vending machines, i'd recommend buying tickets at least a day in advance. note that the ticket offices are not open that early in the morning.
