The Fuji Express train departs from Tokyo's "Shinjuku" and arrives at Kawaguchiko Station in about 1 hour and 55 minutes. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi during the ride. If you want to take the Lake Kawaguchi Fuji Tour train, it is the most ideal mode of transportation!

It is very convenient to get the card. You can get it from any machine with a sign. The sign is also very clear. It can be used in all places except JR. It is very convenient.

What an awesome show. The MC and the sumo wrestlers (Asa No Hide and Asa Mitani) were highly informative, funny and entertaining. Also enjoyed the special geisha dance. The chanko nabe was delicious. My 12 year old had a chance to take on Asa Mitani and had an absolute ball. Definitely an unforgettable experience for us.
