FH Pass – Reservation in Shinjuku 2009/7/31 02:10
The first days of our Japan – vacancy wefll stay in Tokyo. For the further travel I want to book tickets and seats to Kawaguchiko by Keio/ Fujikyu Bus at Shinjuku St.(Fuji Hakone Pass). Therefore I found two maps:

http://www.odakyu.jp/english/center/map.pdf

But I donft get it, how I get to the Odakyu – desk. I will arrive with the Metro (Shinjuku-Line from Motoyawata). Can anybody explain me the way once more?

Furthermore I found this bus schedule: http://www.fujikyu.co.jp/bus/highway/fuji5/time/d_S20_a...

Is this the right one for buses which depart from Shinjuku?

Can I actually use the Fuji Hakone Pass to drive to Saiko- and Yamanaka-Lake, or exists any cycle tracks to get there? And what can I understand under gSelect busesh in the Kawaguchiko area? Thank you very much for your effort.

Just follow the signs saying Odakyu or Odakyu Railways. And if you do not walk into the counter naturally, ask the Odakyu staff:

Yes.

The buses to Saiko are not covered by the Fuji Hakone Pass. A 2-day pass for the retro bus going there costs 1000 yen.

Yamanakako is along the bus route from Kawaguchiko to Gotemba, which is covered by the Fuji Hakone Pass.

RE: Toei subway Shinjuku to Odakyu Dprt. 2009/8/2 22:17
The station map (of Shinjuku Sta. of JR-East) seems to be based on this one.
http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/stations/img/map_e/e866.pdf
The right on the station map is about the north in reality, while the right on the Odakyu's map is about the east.

: how I get to the Odakyu – desk. I will arrive with the Metro (Shinjuku-Line from Motoyawata).

Shinjuku Sta. of Toei subway: Solid map (in Japanese)
http://www.kotsu.metro.tokyo.jp/subway/stations/shinjuk...
Toei Shinjuku Line's Shinjuku Sta. platform is on the 5th basement (B5F). You can reach the 1st basement (B1F) by an elevator.
Presumably (sorry if that's not correct), the exit numbered 3 leads to underground shopping malls, Keio Mall and Odakyu Ace (south block). Around the corner of Odakyu Ace (south block), there will be someone who tells you the stair leading to Odakyu Department Store if you ask where Odakyu Honkan (= main building) is.

By the way, will you come straight from Motoyawata to Shinjuku? If so, you can choose a JR train for Nakano or Mitaka leaving from Track 1. The train will arrive at Track 15 & 16 platform in Shinjuku Sta. of JR-East, which is closer to Odakyu Department Store than Toei Shinjuku Line's platform. The required times for rides are about the same, both around 40 minutes.

As to "Metro":
Not "Metro" but "Toei subway" is used for 4 Tokyo subway lines whose names begin with "Toei." They are operated by Tokyo's Bureau of Transportation.
"Metro" is used for 9 Tokyo subway lines operated by another operator Tokyo Metro.
