Review for: Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchi

the bus terminal was a little confusing to find at first but just make sure to follow the signs and eventually you’ll get there . the driver was so nice ! he let me and my partner each have our own row because there was a small number of people on the bus which made the trip very comfortable . we also stopped at a rest stop for about 20 min and the driver will let you know when to return back . if you sit on the left side , you’ll see mt Fuji :)

Highly recommended getting this transpo when travelling from Kawaguchi to Tokyo. It has a bus stop on Oishi Park that you can get on to. Perfect for doing Oishi Park as your last destination in Kawaguchi area.

5 stars as it worked flawlessly. The bus was on time and the driver drove safely. The free option to get us to the lake directly was great, but be aware there's no easy taxi service over there to get back to town.

High recommended when you want to visit Lake Kawaguchi-ko for a day from Tokyo. Booked on a cheaper price thanks to Klook promo code: THECENZONS Easy to redeem and schedule the trip. On time departure and thumbs up to the driver. The bus is pretty comfortable and no need to transfer as you will arrive in Kawaguchiko station already.

Review for: Lake Kawaguchi to Tokyo

We chose to take the VIP Liner back to Tokyo on our return trip because we tried it when we came to Mount Fuji Kawaguchiko and we were very satisfied with the service. The boarding and alighting points were the same. We arrived at the terminal at 16:30 and the selected train was 17:00. There was only one train. The bus finally arrived at 17:10, which was 10 minutes later than the one I chose. It is unknown whether the three scheduled return flights, 16:50/17:00/17:10, will be included in the same bus, because there are only a dozen passengers! There are rest rooms and restrooms at the waiting station. All in all, it was a pleasant journey and I felt good!
