Great Video! Did you use a DJI action 2 hanging around your neck to film most of the scenes? Seem like no one notice that you were filming which is great since you can blur the people later. Thank you Very much.

Wonderful video and information! Can you tell me how many days in advance did you buy the Highway bus ticket? Also the IC card can be used for all regular metro and bus in Tokyo and Kawaguchiko? How much did this IC card cost and was it best option? I am not buying JR pass. Thanks

Thank you for your words of affirmation. I bought the highway bus tickets about 2 days in advance. However, I highly recommend purchasing your tickets even earlier, especially if it is peak season or on the weekend. Tickets can be sold out pretty fast. The IC card can be used for all metro and bus rides in Tokyo. There will be a deposit of ¥500 for the card. You can get it refunded when you return the card. If you need to top-up the card, there are plenty of machines in every train station in Japan. Hope this helps.

@@cozyoasis You think the IC card was the best option to use? Just keep topping up and then you pay for each bus or train ride?

Hmm... for me it was the best option as it was convenient, I use the IC card for most of my commuting in Japan. I would usually top up a lump sum (¥2000 - ¥4000), so I don't have to consistently keep topping up the card. You can get a refund for any unused credits.

Hi, how much were the sightseeing bus individual tickets? Why did you choose the bus & not the train? I was thinking of visiting with the Limited Excursion Fuji Express Train as it seems faster & traffic free, do you happen to know if it is possible to stop at Chureito Pagoda and then grab the next one to continue on to Kawaguchiko? I read somewhere that you can't hop on-off like you can with the JR pass.

Hi there. Both train or bus are good options to get to Lake kawaguchiko. I just happened to decide to go with the bus ride. The sightseeing buses are a loop service and they stop at the Chureito Pagoda and various areas in Kawaguchiko. You may refer to the map below for the price and bus route information: en.kawaguchiko.net/img/pdf/guide_map_en.pdf

J'y ai passé 3 jours en début décembre et j'ai fait tranquillement le tour du lac mon petit hotel( style ryokan ) était tout à côté du lac et j'avais un bus que pouvais me balader jusqu'au Mont et le matin je voyais le magnifique Fuji . Séjour inoubliable . Un peu frais le matin . Soleil la journée.

Depends on which area you want to see. If you want to cover all the well known sight seeing spots at Kawaguchiko, 1 day probably is not enough. Take note it takes 2+hrs to get there by bus. And the last bus leave at 5+pm.

You get to select either window or aisle seat, and whether you prefer to sit in the front or back of the bus. Once you have done your selection, they will assign you a seat based on your preference. Unfortunately, you don't get to select a specific seat. Hope this helps.
