Ask or answer to the questions about traveling in Japan
Hello, i'd like to go to mount fuji area in 31 march next year. could you tell me the cheapest way to go from tokyo to mt Fuji area with itinerary : Arakurayama sengen park, shiogama shrine, omuro sengen, fuji q highland ? if i buy highway bus ticket from shinjuku to kawaguchiko station, could i stop by in shimoyoshida and then take the next bus with the same ticket to fuji q highland? thankyou
Take an expressway bus bound for Kawaguchiko or Fuji-Q Highland from Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal, and get off at Chuo EXPWY Shimo Yoshida Bus stop. Price one way: 1,700JPY.

Approx. 20 minute walk will bring you to the Arakurayama Sengen Park.
(When you get off the bus, please walk to the left, then you will find a direction to the destination.)
The service which is bound for or leaving from Shibuya does not stop at Chuodo-shita Yoshida Bus Stop.
Unfortunately you cannot switch to the next bus with the same ticket.
There is a train from Shimoyoshida station(close to Arakurayama sengen park, shiogama shrine, omuro sengen) that will take you to FujiQ Highland station which cost around 220 yen.
Otherwise you could use a taxi service. For this short distance it should not be very expensive.
To make a taxi arrangement in advance online, see:

Unfortunately the page is only in Japanese. It might be better to make a phone call to 0120-818-229 when you need to charter a taxi.
Hope this can help you make a plan.
Have a nice trip in Japan!
