Ask or answer to the questions about traveling in Japan
Hi there
1) How should i travel to Kawaguchiko from Shibuya? Is there a direct bus or do i need to travel to Shinjuku? If there is a direct bus from Shibuya, how should i reserve the tickets for 5 adults and where should i board the bus from?
2) What is the fastest and easiest way to travel to Narita Airport from Kawaguchiko? Is there a straight bus?
Thank you!
Hi there,
Regarding your question 1), there is a direct bus from Shibuya to Kawaguchiko. You can book seats from the following website.
http://highway-buses.jp/fuji/
If you scroll down the page, you can find the link for (From Shibuya to Kawaguchiko/Mt. Fuji/FujiQ Highland). Please make a reservation from there.
There is also a ticket office in Shibuya station, so pleaes pick up your ticket at the counter.
Please see the link below for the access to the office.

Regarding your question 2), there are no direct bus from Kawaguchiko to Narita Airport.
It all depends of the time, however, if you can take a Narita Express leaving at 2:14p.m. from Kawaguchiko,
that will be the fastest way to go to Narita Airport.
Please see the link below for your information. (Sorry…Japanese only)

Otherwise, you can go to Shinjuku Sta. by a highway bus (http://highway-buses.jp/fuji/) and take a limousine bus to Narita Airport. The other way is taking a Yamanote line from Shinjuku Sta. to Nippori Sta. and take a Keisei Skyliner to the airport.
Please be noted that it will take a quite long time to go to the departure gate after getting off the train.
If I were you, I will use a Narita Express or take a limousine from Shinjuku station.
It is easy to find the limousine terminal in Shinjuku since it is near the Keio Highway Bus terminal.
I hope this help you make the best decision for your transportation.
