Hi there,

It is not a very straightforward route. The best route using the JR Pass is to travel from Kawaguchiko - Otsuki using the Fujikyu railway (not covered by the JR Pass, 1,140yen / one way). From Otsuki, you can use normal JR lines to Tokyo station, from where you can use the Hikari Shinkansen to Kyoto. The full route takes about 6-7 hours.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel. Thanks for your swift supply so maybe it's better to go back to Tokyo and take the train there?
