You can actually hike up further past the pagoda, about 1 hour up and you get an amazing view of Mt. Fuji. I don't really see many tourists past the pagoda, usually locals only.

Hi from Canada. I booked a tour that includes the pagoda, lake Kawaguchik, Iyashi no Sato Nemba and oishi park. I haven't paid but I was wondering if it is worth the money or if it is better to use the bus you mentioned. The tour costs $252 Canadian dollars. Also, if I take the sightseeing bus and stop in one place, and after spending some time there, do I need to wait long for another bus to get to another place? Thanks

Depends how simple you like things vs saving money - assuming the tour includes the trip to and from Tokyo, it’ll probably save you having to figure out bus times, bus stop locations etc, but sounds like it costs a lot more

The places on your list are scattered on 2 bus lines and 1 train line. However, if you start early you should be able to hit them all on your own. But you'll need to be well prepared ahead of time: 1) Lake Kawaguchiko & Oishi Park: Red line 2) Iyashi no Sato Nemba: Green line 3) Pagoda: Fujikyuko line The pass that covers both the Red & Green line is ~1500 yen, and includes a trip up the ropeway and a cruise in kawaguchiko (both of which I highly recommend). The green line runs less frequently so be sure to plan around the schedule if you want to do it yourself. Personally, I was't too impressed by Iyashi no Sato Nemba nor oishi park. And if pressed for time I'd choose the ropeway and the cruise over those 2 places.

My plan is to take the bus( I don't remember if it was bus or train...) to the pagoda first, because there is no point to get to kawaguchiko station and then go back to the pagoda. Then, the train to kawaguchiko station. From there, to pay for the package to take the ropeway and boat cruise and if we have time take the red line to oishi park. \How does that sound?

Hello, I want to ask if we can go to fuji shibazakura festival using the bus pass using the blue line. I saw the bus brochure, it said the bus didn't stop near shibazakura site, but google map said that the bus stopped near shibazakura site(around 1.5km from the site. It added 1 more stop). Which one is right? Bcs if we can use blue line bus to arrive there, it means that I only need to buy the 2day bus ticket instead of buying a specific bus ticket to arrive at shibazakura(which costs about 2000 yen cmiiw)

Hi there! You can purchase a train ticket online at: www.eki-net.com/en/jreast-train-reservation/Top/Index Also note that part of the train fare is covered by the JR Pass. We have an article that explains the transport options in more detail: tokyocheapo.com/travel/tokyo-to-mount-fuji-transport/ The timing of buying tickets may depend on the day and season you are going. We bought ours one day in advance for a weekday trip but for weekends and busy periods like spring, it might be best to book them further in advance.

You can catch a bus or train to Kawaguchiko Station as mentioned in the video but from there, you'll need to choose between the red, green or blue local sightseeing bus to get to your hotel. Alternatively, if your hotel is located somewhere near Fuji-Q or Shimoyoshida Station, you could get off there a stop earlier, rather than going all the way to Kawaguchiko Station.

Same with Kawaguchiko Station to the Chureido Pagoda, this video says it takes about 15 minutes but on google maps, it says 34 minutes....

Just want to warn everyone. The moment you step off the train at Kawaguchiko, you've entered the largest tourist trap in Japan. From the bus drivers, to restaurant staff, to people working in gift shops, I've never seen more angry Japanese people yelling at tourists for bad behavior or looking generally depressed and miserable. Kawaguchiko is probably one of the worst places, and I strongly recommend limiting your trip to just paying 1500 for the bus, and just traveling to the music forest musum (NOT going in), and walking around the lake just west of there. There's literally nothing to do in Kawaguchiko that's authentic or native to the area. Everything in that place is built around overpriced attractions and generic tourism.

rental car is much better , cheaper, faster and allows to see more places.

On the red line sightseeing bus, from Kawaguchiko station to the end of the line at Oishi Park, it takes around 30 minutes. If you are getting off at stops along the way and doing some sightseeing then you could spend half a day to a whole day visiting the area.

I always want to know which spot where all these people get the photos from, and now i know! It is at the end of the red Line! Too bad i visit japan when it (might) be at the start of the busiest time for holiday in japan. 😅 Hopefully, my trip to Kawaguchiko here went smoothly~ Thank you for the quite detailed and great restaurant recommendation! ❤

I plan on going to my Fuji this Saturday Oct 21 unfortunately the Fuji excursions and earlier buses are already booked ! Are their local trains that can be taken from Tokyo? Do they need to be booked ahead of time?
