Shinkansen ride from Kawaguchiko to Osaka

Hi there,

I'd be more than happy to help. Could you link me your search in Hyperdia.

This way I can explain the route you have found and possible alternatives.

Hope to hear from you!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Here is how I did my search: http://bit.ly/1SjSw59

Thanks!

Hi again!

I see what the problem is. Hyperdia does not know bus routes. So it will try to find the best train connection for you.

If you want to use the route explained above, then you'd have to look at traveling to Mishima. From there you can use the bus.

I looked into this route not too long ago, you can however also use the one found in Hyperdia. The difference with the above route in minimal regarding to travel time and you can make better savings using the JR Pass.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking for the quickest way to get back to Osaka.

Here's the one I tried, using Mishima as the starting point: http://bit.ly/1MYRYyL
I suppose option no.1 and 2 show the best (quickest) direct route.

I tried another one, this time from Gotemba: http://bit.ly/1R3AO3q
It suggests me to go through Numazu but then Shizuoka or Mishima.

Well, apparently the trip from Kawaguchiko can take very long and seems to be an arduous one.

Can you suggest any place to transit for the night on my way to Osaka?
Initially I plan for Yokohama but it seems going backwards.

Thanks for your always valuable insights.
Dwi.

Hi Dwi.

Yes the route from Gotemba - Osaka differs on what time of day you travel.

Kawaguchiko is indeed hard to access, if you are not coming from Tokyo/Yokohama.

You could stay in the Hakone Area instead. It also has a brilliant view on Fuji and there's a lot more to do as well. Then the following day, travel on to Kawaguchiko (or visit somewhere else).

Hope this helps :)
Daniel
