Day 1
May 11
- Leave Tokyo around 09:00 and aim for the direct Fuji Excursion train from Shinjuku if seats are available; the late-morning direct option is the cleanest train plan to Kawaguchiko.
- If the direct train is sold out, take a JR Chuo Line limited express to Otsuki and transfer to the Fujikyu Line for Kawaguchiko.
- After arriving around late morning, walk or taxi to Lawson Fujikawaguchiko Town hall for the classic Mount Fuji convenience-store photo.
- Rent bikes near Kawaguchiko Station, then ride the north shore toward Oishi Park with plenty of view and snack stops.
- Mid-afternoon, head to Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and continue to Tenjo Bell for the hiking piece.
- Return to Tokyo by train in the evening, either on a direct Fuji Excursion if timing works or via Otsuki if you need more flexibility.
