Hi, if i want to travel between shinjuku and kawaguchiko by express bus, will I need to take into consideration on traffic wise? Lets say depart Kawaguchiko at 15:55 and to reach shinjuku 17:40. Will there be possibility that I may be caught up in traffic during peak hours and reach later than the time given? Thanks.

Hi there,
I often drive around Chuo Highway.
As far as I know, if your traveling date is weekday, you don't have to worry for the delay so much.
Even if it's weekend, your bus is not during the peak hours. ( later than 16:30 will be much possible to be caught in traffic.)
But as Didi-san mentioned, there's always possibility, like accident occurred, or construction (low possibility in the day time, mostly in mid night).

Kawaguchiko --- Shinjuku will be approx 1 h 30 mins usual.
Your timetable says approx 2 hours, so, as long as the traffic is going well, you won't be late.

Hope this can be your help!

Hello,
There is always a chance of congestion and delay when you ride a highway bus. Although most often the bus arrives on time there is always a possibility of delay. If you are worried of being late I suggest you take an earlier bus to make sure that you are on time.

I hope this can help and have a nice trip.

Didi
