Hi there,

Here's an example route:
Take the ropeway from Koya-san to Gokurakubashi. Then the Nankai rail to Shin-Imamiya. Then a local train to Shin-Osaka, then the Hikari Shinkansen to Shin-Yokohama, then a local train to HACHIOJI station, then the KAIJI ltd express to Otsuki and finally the Fujikyu railway to Kawaguchiko. The route together should take about 8 hours with many transfers.

Also the train service between Koya and Hashimoto station is currently out of service and requires a bus. This will also add extra travel time.

See:

Please note that the Nankai routes and Fujikyu routes are not included in the JR Pass.

Thank you!
I've been reading about the bus between Koya and Hashimoto. Wouldn't it be easier to travel via Osaka?
