The Ultimate Way to Explore Mt. Fuji & Kawaguchiko

Navigating the Fuji Five Lakes region is effortless with a dedicated Kawaguchiko Bus Pass or the comprehensive Mt. Fuji Pass. Instead of purchasing individual tickets for every journey, these passes offer unlimited hop-on hop-off access to the extensive network of sightseeing buses (Red, Green, and Blue Lines) that connect major attractions like Oishi Park, the Itchiku Kubota Art Museum, and the Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba. Premium options, such as the Mt. Fuji Pass, go beyond just transport by including free entry to top-tier experiences like the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway, the Ensoleillé Sightseeing Boat, and even rides at Fuji-Q Highland. Whether you are visiting for a day trip or a 3-day immersion, these passes provide the freedom to chase the best views of Mount Fuji without the hassle of counting coins for fare boxes.

Saved so much money!

The Mt. Fuji Pass was an absolute steal. We used it for the bus loop, the ropeway, and the boat ride. It paid for itself in just one day. Highly recommend!

Very convenient

Redeeming the voucher at Kawaguchiko Station was quick. The buses can get crowded, but having the pass meant we just flashed it to the driver and got on. No fumbling for change.

Great for sightseeing

We took the 2-day pass. It covers the train from Otsuki which is great. The only downside is the buses stop running a bit early in the evening, so plan ahead.

Excellent value

Used the pass for the Green Line to see the bat cave and wind cave. The unlimited hop-on hop-off feature is essential because the taxi prices are very high here.

Seamless experience

Booked the private car option for my parents, but my husband and I used the bus pass. It was super easy to figure out the routes. The Red Line gets you to all the classic photo spots.
