Today's Train:
Limited Express Fuji Excursion- Shinjuku, Tokyo to Otsuki
Fujikyu Railway Commuter Train- Otsuki to Kawaguchiko
Today, I will be taking the limited express Fuji excursion train to Lake Kawaguchi. This train goes all the way to Kawaguchiko station. But my journey will be divided into two parts. I am using my Japan Rail pass and my pass covers the journey until Otsuki station. There, I will buy an additional ticket for 1170 yen to get on the Fujikyu Railway commuter train to Kawaguchiko. The full fare for Tokyo to Kawaguchiko is 4130 yen on the Limited Express Train.
The Limited Express service is operated by the new E353 series trains. The train has ordinary car and green car. In ordinary car, the seats are spacious, comfortable and equipped with tray table, power outlets, bottle holder, coat hanger etc. The seats are of light colour with adjustable headrests and clean head covers. The seats in Green car is even more spacious and equipped with the usuals, with footrest as an additional feature.
From Tokyo, it will take just over an hour to reach Otsuki. And from Otsuki, another 50 mins to reach Kawaguchiko. Kawaguchi is a lake located in Yamanashi prefecture near Mount Fuji. There are five lakes altogether but Kawaguchi happens to be the most famous one. People can enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Fuji with the Lake Kawaguchi at its base.
Many fun trains, sightseeing trains can be seen at Otsuki Station, coming from different directions and going towards Mount Fuji, Fuji Q Highland, Kawaguchiko, Chureito pagoda etc.

Great video! Really helped me understand using the JR pass and getting to Mt Fuji
I love this video. Great narration and even better footage. Thank you
Thank you so much...
This has been one of the best, most clear videos for Shinjuku to Mt Fuji. I hope you can someday cover the Buses to the 5th Station or the stops going up to Nagano on the Limited Express Matsumoto Mt Fuji side and loop back down on the Hokuriku-Shinkansen side.
Enjoyed the video. Especially from 12:13 minutes 🫶🏼✌🏼
Where in Kawaguchiko is that? 😻
It was beautiful ❤
Thank you for sharing. Nice with clear video and the beautiful view. Wonder how’s was the temperature.
Thank you! It was a bit chilly as far as I can remember...
Hi. Great video. Where did you have the katsu curry? Remember the name of the restaurant? Looks too yummy
Why you change the train? Not continue using e353 untill arrive at kawaguchiko?
Hello @bonjour! , i already bought limited exp train from shinjuku to fujijyuhighland (directly). But worry how to get to the train when arrive at shinjuku train. Can you give advice about how to get to the train since shinjuku seems to be large station and this is our first time to japan. Also i will go with 2 kids and eldery.
Which side of seats facing the mt Fuji? Do you remember your seat alphabet ?
Can you also buy Otsuki ticket in Tokyo, or at only at Otsuki? I will have a JR Pass to cover the express train portion.
I have that exact question
Interesting stuff
hello, i want to ask. which JR Pass you use in this video (for going to otsuki station)? is it the nation-wide pass? or the tokyo wide pass? thank you
The nation-wide one...
Is it possible to still ride 353 to Kawaguchiko? Without getting off at Ōtsuki?
thats my exact question too. because they made the fuji excursion train from shinjuku to kawaguchiko without getting off. unless you ride the shinkansen then you really have to get off
Well in the video it shows the 353 there at Kawagaguchiko, which clearly got there before she did. So why did you switch to the commuter train?
AFAIK, they connect a 3 cars Fuji excursion train to 9 cars Azusa or Kaiji Limited express train. They disconnect at Otsuki then 3 cars train goes to Kawaguchiko.
Can say nothing about tickets.
This person used the JR pass from Shinjuku to Otsuki, then you can use Suica from Otsuki to Kawaguchiko... I guess JR pass do not covers all the way.
@@johnpurnell6898 Yea exactly, need explanation about this. Can i use my JR pass go straight to kawaguchiko without getting off?
My advice - dont take this train
Why not?
