Assuming we taking the 7pm departure bus from lake kawaguchiko station bus back to Tokyo, before that I'll be taking their local direct bus from gotemba outlet to lake kawaguchiko with ETD: 4.50PM and ETA: 630pm.

Is 30mins before bus departure enuf for any last min delays?

You should look at Kansai region for your itinerary and calculate how much you need to travel before deciding on a pass.

It's either JR or the rest. The rest are usually referred to as subways. I'm also confused in the past.

hi all , its my first time going kawaguchiko. I was thinking of spending 2d1night at there before heading to hakone+ odawara in the next day. Is it recommended?

Im still deciding to go hakone or not as there seems to be alot of exploring in kawaguchiko.
1) im thinking of going
- chuitero pagoda
- ashino hakkai
-kawaguchiko music forest
-natural living centre
-ropeway
Any other places is gd to visit?
2) is it still worth to take the fuji hakone pass at 8000 yen even if im not going to hakone?
3) is gotemba outlet worth to go ?


Thank you so much

Your device's menus, settings etc will be in Japanese and not necessarily have option to change to English.

Also, if your device need to plug into wall socket, it will likely be only 100-110v compatible.

both cards , we can take back any remaining value at end of trip?

Only for Pasmo. Suica has a ¥220 admin charge if I didn’t recall wrongly.
