๐ป๐ How to Get to Mt. Fuji ๐๐ป
Before going, I checked a lot of strategies, but because the visibility was poor on the originally scheduled day, I really didn't want to go in vain and canceled the highway bus ticket the day before departure. ๐ Bus Ticket: 2200 Yen, about 110 RMB per ticket, direct from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko, the whole journey takes about 2 hours. Tips: The advantage is no need to transfer, the disadvantage is the fear of traffic jams during holidays. You can buy it 14 days in advance on the highwaybus official website, or you can buy it on the spot at Shinjuku Station ๐ซ. ๐ Mt. Fuji Outbound Journey: I encountered the May Day holiday, and the bus tickets for the two mornings with good visibility were no longer available through the highwaybus website (heard that they can be bought on the spot that day). Eventually, I decided to take the subway directly from the hotel in Tokyo to Kawaguchiko. ๐ Total Route from Tokyo to Kawaguchiko is divided into two major sections: Tokyo City - Otsuki - Kawaguchiko 1๏ธโฃ First Step: From the city to Otsuki Station, it takes about 2 hours, and you can plan the specific route with either Navitime or Google Maps. ๐ฐ Cost: From Tokyo Station to Otsuki via Nakano, Toyota, 1594 Yen. 2๏ธโฃ Second Step: Take the Fuji Kyuko Line (directly brush Suica card, slow) or Fuji Kyuko (book in advance on the website, fast) from Otsuki Station, direct to Kawaguchiko Station (passing through Shimoyoshida, Fuji-Q Highland, etc., get off if needed). ๐ฐ Cos*: Fuji Kyuko Line to Kawaguchiko, 1161 Yen. โฐ Tips: There are not many Fuji Kyuko Line schedules, with 8:19, 8:50, and 9:16 before 9:30. To get there earlier, we took the subway in Tokyo before seven in the morning and caught the 9:16 train, finally arriving at Kawaguchiko Station at 10:14. โ๏ธ Total Duration: Three and a half hours. ๐ฐ Total Cost: 1594 + 1161 = 2755 Yen (about 140 RMB). ๐ Within Kawaguchiko Resort : You can use Suica card for the entire journey on the red bus, there are signs outside, and the guidebook comes in multiple languages. Arrange as needed. ๐ Mt. Fuji Attractions: Kawaguchiko - Shimoyoshida 1๏ธโฃ Buy the cheapest slow train, swipe Suica card for 310 Yen (15 RMB) per person; 2๏ธโฃ Buy the express train, swipe Suica card for 710 Yen (35 RMB) per person. In a hurry and didn't want to wait, so I paid extra for this ticket. #MtFuji #Kawaguchiko #MtFujiStrategy
