🗻 Fuji Mountain Kawaguchiko One-Day Tour Strategy

🗻 Fuji Mountain Kawaguchiko One-Day Tour Strategy 🍁 Travel Date: 2024.11.9 (No Snow Cap) 🔸 Traveling with the elderly, so we minimized walking. 🚌 Departure from Tokyo by Express Bus 💰Most Cost-Effective💰 ✌️ Two online ticket purchase channels: 🔹 Japan Bus E-Pass (Departures from Tokyo Station/Akihabara/Ikebukuro/Haneda Airport) 🔹 Highwaybus (Departures from Tokyo Station/Shinjuku/Shibuya/Haneda Airport) 💰 Ticket price is 2200 yen (I bought from E-Pass, Tokyo Station to Kawaguchiko Bus Stop No. 2) 🛜 Free wifi/toilets/food and drink allowed on board. 🚌 Kawaguchiko One-Day Pass for 1500 yen per person for tourist buses. 🔴 Introduction to the Red Line: Buses every 15 minutes, 20 stops in total, 570 yen from start to finish, 180 yen per stop. If you don't need to get off at every stop, a day pass may not be cost-effective; you can choose to use a transportation card. ⚠️ Swipe your card at the rear door when boarding, and swipe again at the front door when exiting. 📍 Kawaguchiko Station: Transportation hub, service center + souvenir shops, has 🚾 📍 Lawson in front of Kawaguchiko Station: Crowded, hard to take photos, average view. Personally, not worth it. 📍 Kawaguchiko Post Office: You can buy region-limited gotochi, special stamps, and get a Kawaguchiko postmark. 📍 Natural Life Hall: 1F sells local specialties (tax refund for purchases over 5500 yen), 2F is a café with viewing spots. 🍲 Lunch: Momijitei-Hoto, near , hoto pot is a specialty of the Fuji Mountain area, it's a kind of pot noodle 😂, with a sweet and savory broth. I ordered the mushroom pot and pork pot, both 1600 yen per pot, beef is a bit more expensive, and a set meal is around 2000 yen. 🍁 The 26th Red Leaf Festival 🍁 2024.10.26-11.20 🍁 🍡 Various Japanese snack stalls you can think of 🚾 Portable toilets available. ❄️ The daytime temperature is similar to Tokyo, but it gets cold as soon as it gets dark, remember to dress warmly! #FujiRiverKawaguchiko #FujiMountainOneDayTour #Kawaguchiko #FujiMountainKawaguchikoOneDayTour #TokyoSurroundings #TokyoDayTrip
