May I know for the bus from Haneda airport to Lake Kawaguchiko are we able to make a reservation by phone? Do they require payment by a certain deadline?

I have tried booking online via the Japanese site but it seems that they require payment few days before departure through convenience stores. My plan is after arriving at Haneda then take the bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. But if can't make reservations, the timing is left to fate

net reservation with many service providers in Japan is limited or based on using their version of AXS. If you really want to, you get a friend to deal with the conbini part for you?

For some reason, not everything can paid remotely using credit card. I have booked stuff from JR-Eki net and I really do not want to do it again but they offer nice packages. They take credit card but the process of securing everything in the booking is

Looks like it's only compatible with certain phones.
