Hello, I hope that would help.
1.May i know do i have to book the direct bus online now (from malaysia) or after arriving in japan? Is there any charge if i cancel the ticket that i have booked?
I think it is better making a reservation in advance, as it is a high season. however, there is only a Japanese website for the reservation of the direct service from Shinjuku at the moment. They are planning to open English reservation system on 22nd March. If you want to make a reservation now, I recommend you to make a reservation for the service to Kawaguchiko online (English is available.). From Kawaguchiko Station, there is a local bus service that a prior reservation is unnecessary. Otherwise, you can visit Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal to make a reservation at the Reservation Counter, when you arrive in Tokyo.
Or you can call the Reservation Center. English operator is available.
