Shinkansen stops inquiries

Dear Phuong,

Welcome to the forum :)

Your route a pretty straight forward one and looks well doable. Local travel from Shin-Osaka to Kyoto is indeed only 15minutes by with the Shinkansen. However I would also consider using local trains such as the Kyoto line to Kyoto, as these only take ¥540 fare and reach Kyoto in 29 minutes. It's a good way to save some money on travel.

As for Shin-Fuji? What do you plan to do there? The station is in the middle of an industrial complex and there's not much to do except for a couple of buses that run toward Mount Fuji. A better stop would be one of the neighboring stations such as Mishima or Atami.

Hope this helps!

Dear Daniel-san,

Thanks for your kind response.

I thought take shinkansen from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji by the stop at Shin-Fuji is correct, isnt it? Pls kindly advise me the best way to go with my JRPASS.

I want to stay one night at one hotel around the Lake to have sunrise view of Mt. Fuji, how do you think? Pls advise me if this is not a good choice.

By the way, i am from HoChiMinh city (Vietnam), if i order JRPass from this website, how much for shipment of the ticket and how long does it take, please?

Best Regards
Phuong

Dear Phuong,

Shin-Fuji is not the Shinkansen stop for Fuji. This is something that causes confusion for more people. Shin-Fuji station is actually very boring and no other trains stop there except for the Shinkansen. A better option is to visit Hakone not too far from Shin-Fuji and enjoy the view from there. The Shinkansen station for Hakone is Odawara station.

For shipping, Vietnam takes 2 business days and €14.00/$19.00 or equivalent in your own currency. This is a one time charge, no matter how many passes you order. Details can be found here.

Best Wishes!
