Thanks for that. I'm also going to Kawaguchi in November. Didn't know there's a bus direct from Haneda to Kawaguchi station so that helps a lot because I don't have to go to Shinjuku to take a bus.
Is there any difference between taking the bus from Haneda and Shinjuku? Will one bus stop at more stations that the other and make the journey longer?

Thanks. I'll be spending the night at the airport. Probably will try out First Cabin capsule hotel. Plan to reach Kawaguchiko by 1pm the next day so I think its best to take the bus from the airport.

Thanks! Good to hear that. No need to rush the next day to go to Shinjuku to take a bus to Kawaguchi. I was only able to look around the international terminal last time which is quite small and nothing much.

I'm trying to find out how to buy shinkansen tickets using credit card by watching this video..

Right after 56 seconds when the credit card is inserted, the next screen asks you to insert your Personal Identification Number. Where do we get this number from? I don't remember ever needing to use any sort of identification number when I use my credit card.

Yeah I can also buy from counter but the machine looks easier and the queue will probably also be lesser and moves faster. It would be good to have two options (machine and cashier) when the time comes to buy it.
I'm not able to confirm what time I'll take the shinkansen so I can't book in advance especially if I want a reserve seat. So I plan to buy on the spot when I reach the station.

Going in November to do some bungee jumping and paragliding. Woot!

What time does the Bus Ticket Sales Counter in Haneda closes? Can't seem to find this info on their website.
I'm arriving around 11pm and would like to buy a bus ticket to Kawaguchi station for the next day. Or is it still possible for me to purchase using the machines?
I checked and seems like there's only 1 bus in the morning that goes to that station so I can't miss it. For some reason the 10am bus does not stop there.

Thanks a lot bro!

Hi guys,
I'm planning to take the bus from Kawaguchiko station to Tokyo station (visiting character street and i'm also staying close by there). I was checking the bus schedule and noticed that the trip takes around 3 hours but its only around 1hour30mins if I go to Shinjuku station. Is this normal?

I might as well take the bus to Shinjuku station instead of it takes that long to reach Tokyo station.

I'm trying to book a shinkansen ticket from Ueno to Jomo Kogen. I checked the price on JR site and it says its 5,700 yen for one way. But after I completed my reservation I noticed that the price shown is 3,110 yen instead. Below is a pic of it.

Did I do it correctly or do I have to pay the other extra when I collect the ticket or something?

Just came back from paragliding and bungee jumping in Minakami. Oh what an experience.
