Hi
I'd like to visit Mt Fuji during new year time. I am planning to go for a day trip on December 31, 2016 but unsure if any bus or shops around the area will be open.
Not sure if there is any bus operating from Shinjuki Express Bus Terminal to Kawaguchiko Station between December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2017. I believe Kawaguchiko Station is the one that people visit the most for Mt Fuji view?



Appreciate your answer.

Hi there,

There are some buses bound for Fuji-san area from Tokyo area everyday.

But you might already know, there are no buses bound for 5th station or more further area because of the snow.
Roads will be closed around Fuji-san during the winter season, so as you described Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko will be the only or the best choice.

I'm wondering about the accommodation more than the transportation.
Please make sure if there's a vacancy for your nights to stay.
Kawaguchiko area has a lot of hotels and good hot springs, yes, viewing Fuji-san from the warm and nice hot spring when the new year's eve ends up - welcoming the new year... awesome!!

Hope this can be your help.
