Shizuoka Prefecture

Whenever I visit prefectures outside of Tokyo, I make sure to check whether the trip is covered by the JR Tokyo Wide Pass. For 15,000 yen for three days, this pass allows me to travel to various places without worrying about paying each time. It also allows me to take Shinkansen trains and get reserved seats to reach my destination faster. I highly recommend using the JR Tokyo Wide Pass and buying it in advance from Klook (super easy to claim from Narita airport). Plan your itinerary well and calculate if the pass is worth it. During this trip, I used it to visit Nikko on a day trip and Karuizawa on an overnight trip, plus used it on JR Lines within Tokyo. It was surely worth more than what I paid for, so it was definitely a good value.

Best thing I did my whole trip. From start to finish the team who checked us in and did our safety equipment were awesome, then the drive up the mountain was a thrill and finally the team who prepped us for the zip line and then helped us at the end were awesome. What a thrill, beautiful views and also go some nice photos at the end. Sadly didn’t get a video but I think it was my fault for not asking.

kudos to the driver who was flexible to make amends to the route and made the trip enjoyable and less rush. Brought us to the highest accesible point (available) - 5th Station. This was probably the best part of the 10-hour journey as we were able to sight a few minutes of snow when we alighted from the car! Definitely recommend to utilize this service if you’re looking for a fuss-free and private ride with young kids!

The trip was smooth and there was 1 stopover. however it did not leave on time, it was scheduled at 5:15pm but left past 6pm.

A special thank you to Mr. A Ming, our driver from Ansu Travel! He's a wonderful person, his vehicle is clean, and he's very punctual. He thoughtfully provided us with information about the timing for each attraction and recommended delicious restaurants. We were fortunate enough to see Mount Fuji in its full glory that day, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. Mr. A Ming was also considerate of my father's needs, stopping at rest areas for restroom breaks. Highly recommended!

This is a pass for people who are going to travel around Shizuoka and the area around Mount Fuji, who have time and are not in a hurry, because you can only ride local trains. But it's very worth it, you can enjoy the view of Mount Fuji for free, ride the bus to Kawaguchiko for free, and ride the bus in Hamamatsu for free.

Ms. Sun Liyan was the driver for this trip. She was very punctual. She arrived at my hotel lobby and waited for us to be to picked up at 7.30am, even though I booked the trip to start at 8am. She drove in a very comfort and safely manner throughout the whole journey. She's also very friendly and informative as she gave me a lot of suggestions and recommendations about places to visit nearby Tokyo area. Thumbs up for your excellent service.

so easy. no need to exchange for a physical ticket which is what you usually do in japan. worth it even if you are going to and back from mt. omuro for a single afternoon.

It's very useful. The price isn't super discounted, but it comes with a ropeway ticket near Shimoda Station, and the mountain scenery is great. Plus, due to weather causing itinerary changes, the three-day pass allows for more flexible departures.
