Lake Kawaguchiko travel 2017/2/5 23:41
Hi everyone!

Just wanted to ask for your opinion if I'll be able to save time id I take the limited express train to Otsuki rather than taking a bus direct to Kawaguchiko?

Also, if i take the limited express train to Otsuki using the JR pass, do i need to pay extra fee or it's covered by the pass?

Unless there are traffic delays, the bus is usually a little bit faster:

It is fully covered as far as Otsuki. From Otsuki to Kawaguchiko, the JR Tokyo Wide Pass is also valid, but all other JR passes are not.

Thanks Uji! Appreciate your response but when I checked the schedule, it seems like the bus to Kawaguchiko leaves every hour only? 8:45 being the earliest daily?

You seem to be looking at the wrong timetables. Here they are:

There is a 6:05 on weekends and holidays, then a 7:15 departure everyday, then a 7:45 departure everyday, etc.

Thank you. I thought the places on each column are the destination but I noticed it says "Via".

I am trying to reserve a seat at the link below but I get an error Input information is incorrect.Would you know why?

Do I need to choose Fuji Q highland instead of Kawaguchiko?
