Hello

We are arriving into Yokohama on a cruise ship on the 19th of July. We are wanting to then travel down to Kyoto for 3 days. We will then travel to Mt Fuji and spend two days climbing the mountain on a guided tour. Following this we will return to Tokyo. We are a family of 4. Childrens ages are 9 and 11. We will have two suitcase with us.

Q1 Can we use a 7 day Regional Day pass to travel the regions mentioned? Or is it cheaper buy individual train tickets. (we want to travel on Shinkansen to minimise time travelling)
Q2 What is the best was to travel from Kyoto to the 5th Bus station at the base of Mt Fuji? This is where we will meet our climbing tour.

Thank you.

Hi there,

1.) Yes, you can and the JR Pass will help you make savings at this time. You can also ride the Hikari Shinkansen from Tokyo - Kyoto.

2.) I could not find the 5th bus station, do you have any further details on location? It may make more sense to ask your guide what the best route there is, as he/she will be local and familiar with the local routes.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel-san.
The Fuji Subaru Line 5th station is where we meet our guided tour to climb up Mt Fuji.
Its address is Kitayama, Fujinomiya, Shizuoka 418-0112, Japan.
Was wondering what train station is near, and also what train from Kyoto would get us to this station.
Kind Regards
Debra

Hi again,

I looked up the address and it looks like that Fujinomiya station is the closest. You can get there by Kyoto by using the Shinkansen to Mishima station, then the JR Minobu line to Fujinomiya station.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
