Mount Fuji/ Kawaguchiko
Traveling from Osaka and Kyoto to Kawaguchiko is incredibly convenient by highway bus! Kawaguchiko is
home to Japan's highest peak, Mount Fuji, as well as other natural attractions like the stunning Oshino
Hakkai and the popular Fuji-Q Highland theme park.
Compared to the Shinkansen and flights, highway buses are much more affordable, with fares starting at
around 4,200 yen one-way. The bus also offers a variety of convenient boarding locations, not only in
Kyoto and Osaka but also in central Osaka areas like Namba, Umeda, and Tennoji, making your journey more
flexible.
One major advantage of taking the highway bus is that it eliminates the need for inconvenient transfers.
For instance, taking the Shinkansen requires a transfer to a bus or train at Shin-Fuji Station or
Mishima Station, which can be quite cumbersome. Flying involves a transfer from Narita or Haneda Airport
to other modes of transportation. In contrast, highway buses take you directly to Kawaguchiko, with
stops at nearby attractions like Fujisan Station and Fuji-Q Highland, making your trip planning much
easier.
The journey from Osaka and Kyoto to Kawaguchiko by highway bus takes approximately 11 hours (exact time
varies depending on the service). During this time, you can rest comfortably on the bus, saving on one
night's accommodation costs and arriving at Kawaguchiko refreshed and ready to start sightseeing.
In conclusion, taking a highway bus from Osaka and Kyoto to Kawaguchiko is the most economical and
convenient transportation option. It not only saves you money but also offers a comfortable travel
environment and flexible boarding and drop-off locations. Book your seat in advance to secure your spot,
and enjoy the convenience and comfort that the highway bus offers, making your journey from Osaka and
