Hi there,
We want to go to the Fuji Shibazakura festival on April 16, 2017. We have JR pass and will be depart from Shinjuku. From what we have found online, we need to pay extra to get to Kawaguchico station for the part that the JR pass does not cover. Then take a bus from Kawaguchico station to the festival site. Other option is to take a bus from Shinjuku station to Kawaguchico, then the bus. Should we take the bus or the train? Please advise. We just want to be at the festival site as early as possible to avoid the crowd.
Thank you very much for your time.

Hi there,

I would suggest to take a bus from　Shinjuku　Expressway　Bus　Terminal　to　Kawaguchiko　and　take　the　Shibazakura　Liner　from　Kawaguchiko to the Fujishibazakura Festival site.

Please make a reservation from the following website for Kawaguchiko.
http://highway-buses.jp/fuji/

You cannot make a reservation for the Fujishibazakura Liner, so please purchase the ticket in Kawaguchiko.
http://www.shibazakura.jp/eng/access/

The ticket for Fujishibazakura Liner includes a round trip bus fare between Kawaguchiko and Shibazakura festival site and entrance fee for the festival site.

The earliest bus for Fujishibazakura festival leaves Kawaguchiko at 7:50 and the next bus leaves at 8:50.

I hope this information is useful for you.

Have a nice trip in Japan!
