Best route from Mount Fuji to Osaka

Hi Mikayla,

Traveling from Kawaguchiko to Osaka can be somewhat complicated and takes several hours, it's important to prepare well in advance.

There are two possible route's.

The first is by train and I would recommend taking this one if you use a JR Pass as it is the most economic. The route is as follows: take the train (back) to Tokyo station and use the Shinkansen from there to Osaka. Here is an example route. The route does take 360 Minutes, so bring something to do in the meantime.

The 2nd route is to use a bus from Kawaguchiko to Mishima station and use the Shinkansen from there to Osaka. The bus takes about 2Hours and 2410yen. From Mishima station to Osaka it takes an other 170 Minutes by train to reach, this is excluding transfer time at Mishima station which is about 15-35min. You can find more information about this route here.

As for purchasing the pass, keep in mind that the pass needs to be shipped to your home address which can take a couple of days. You can find more information about shipping here. I would recommend ordering at least 1 week in advance.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
