Transfer to the Fujikyu Railway: Upon reaching Otsuki Station, disembark from the JR Chuo Line train. Proceed to the Fujikyu Railway station located within Otsuki Station, as Fujiyoshida is not directly served by the JR network.

Purchase a ticket or show your JR Pass: If you haven't already, buy a ticket for the Fujikyu Railway to Fujiyoshida. Alternatively, if the JR Pass covers the Fujikyu Railway, show your pass at the ticket gate to gain entry. Confirm with the station staff if you are unsure about the coverage.
