There is also a special rapid train to Otsuki on the Chuo line. From there you get on the Fujikyuko line to Kawaguchiko. It's a bit slower than the Fuji Excursion but only costs 2500 Yen from Shinjuku.

Thanks for this PERFECT guide, Kenchan!
I really want to do this trip to Kawaguchiko (and Fujiyoshida) on my next time in Japan, and this will help me A LOT!
I like how you explain the options and even putting a map to show the routes, your channel is one of my favorites about how to travel in Japan.
Please, keep this incredible work!

Mt Fuji is such a majestic looking mountain. I ve seen it a few times n am still in awe everytime.

Thank you Tokyo Kenchan for saving my fall trip to Japan! We had trouble booking a highway bus to Kawaguchiko on a different website last minute, but the one you provided worked with no problem. Your guides contain so much useful information and it really feels like we have a local tour guide helping us plan our trip. Thank you again and I can't wait to see where you take us next! 😊

We were in Tokyo only a few weeks ago and had planned to go see Mt Fuji, but unfortunately it was overcast everyday. Luckily we got to see it from the Shinkansen travelling to Kyoto, and again on the flight from Osaka to Tokyo. Such an impressive mountain even from that distance.

We were there few weeks ago. It was snowing hard a day before our arrival. Good thing, it was a clear and sunny day when we arrived and we were able to had a perfect photos with Mount Fuji.

Hi! I’m from Thailand. Japan is the most popular country to visit for Thai people because it has a 15-day free visa and has lots of places to see 😊

Thanks for making this video. So excited for my 2-week vacation in Japan

[tamashisushiismysoulmate]

Thank you so much for your recommendations and this detailed guide! I am planning to visit Japan in the near future. Also, I am surprised that there is a Thai sign at a train station in Japan. As a Thai, I am very grateful 🙏🥰 I love everything Japanese ❤❤❤

Hi Kenchan, I want to sincerely thank you for all your videos which were of great help. My trip to Japan was amazing, the best I had so far, my favorite city was Hiroshima but the best place I've been to was lake Kawaguchi. I took a short video of it which I just uploaded in my Youtube channel as I was in awe in front of the beauty of the scene ❤. Many thanks and take care !

Thank you so much. For making this video. It makes the tour so much hassle free. I’m interested watching bus lines around tokyo. Ive been researching for that. Because other than trains/subways, that is very efficient it gives a new way to travel around tokyo.

I'm planning to go to Japan for the first time with my friends next year, and I'm glad I found your videos. Very informative

[ppalicexs]

Hello Kenchan! As I'm Thai I think that the pagoda and most places around Kawaguchiko are very famous spots for Thai travelers to see Mt. Fuji. Almost everyone I know that have traveled to Japan visited these spots and they all really love it, some even go back to visit Mt.Fuji and lake Kawaguchi several times! I guess these spots are like must-go places for Thai people other than Tokyo, even so I'm still quite surprised to see that they have Thai language there as well lol.

I'm also planning my trip to Japan right now and probably gonna visit all these places in the video as well, thanks to you Kenchan! Just want to let you know that your videos are amazing and they are really helpful for planning my trip in Japan, I love how you explain everything so clearly, includes the area of these places and how to get around as well. I've been trying to look for these kind of details and barely found one. Hope you make more videos like this in the future!!

I planning to go Tokyo again after many years. Your video really helpful. I may follow this route to see Mt. Fuji 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[chilly]

I think I'll take by train instead. I don't want to risk getting off the wrong stop, and it's less of a headache to plan too.
