Hi,

Been there done that early this year. Use this link to book your bus ticket to kawaguchiko from Shinjuku station http://highway-buses.jp/fuji/ No  nd to pay in advanced.

Hi, after reservation just print out the confirmation. When your departure time comes, go a little a bit earlier say 1/2 hour early then show your confirmation at the counter.  Pay at the counter itself. No advanced payment needed. Fairly easy process.
The boarding process

Make reservations from this site  (print reservation information)
Pay fare at express bus terminal (cash only) 
Board

So which counter do i have to visit? Is it a ticketing counter? I saw on the FAQ that there are 2 ticketing locations. Is that the one? I really appreciate your help. 

"Q. Can I purchase a bus ticket at Shinjuku Expressway bus terminal without making a reservation?

A. Yes, you can. Bus tickets for same-day departure are sold on the first floor. You can purchase bus tickets for a future date (the next day or later) on the second floor. Please note that you may not be able to purchase your desired bus ticket if the bus in question is fully booked."

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. You bring the confirmation and get the ticket from the bus terminal ticketing counter. For all i remember the ticketing counter is not big about 4 counters. Go to the one towards your left. Or i think if you are not sure js show your confirmation, they will be kind enough to direct you to the correct counter.

The ticketing process is fairly easy if you have the reservation in hand. But the location of the bus terminal is a bit tricky.
Do your homework on locating the keio bus terminal in shinjuku and be there early to be safe.

Have a good holiday!

after reserve from website, then go bus terminal (oppsoite shinjuku south exit), go to the machine there key in your phone number that use for booking in website to make payment and print the ticket.

Went to Japan for 6 days(13th Jan-18th Jan, just came back this morning), so damn cold especially in Kyoto(it was snowing when I was there), now I'm down with a cold

My itinerary(quite rushed lah, since my dad decided to go to Kyoto at the last minute ):
1st day: Arrived at Tokyo at 3.40pm, took Narita Express to Shinagawa and caught a Shinkansen to Kyoto.
2nd day: Explore Kyoto(Arashiyama bamboo grove, Kinkaku-ji temple, Fushimi Inari shrine and Kiyomizu temple) for one whole day, before returning to Tokyo via shinkansen at 6pm. Checked in at hotel and did some sightseeing in Shibuya crossing
3rd day: Visited Lake Kawaguchiko, but too bad the peak of Mt. Fuji was covered by the clouds.
4th day: Brief visit to Tsukiji Fish Market, went to see the life-sized Gundam@Odaiba DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, visited  Sensoji Temple in Asakusa and sightseeing of Tokyo Skytree from Asakusa.
5th day: My dad and I went separate ways, I visited University of Tokyo's campus, Tokyo Dome and Jiyugaoka, while my dad went to Yokohama Chinatown and Kamakura. Gathered at the hotel at around 7pm and went to have dinner in an all-you-can-eat Yakiniku joint.
6th day: Visit to Tokyo Imperial Palace and Tokyo station, shopping at Shinjuku and Akihabara(bought a tax-free G-shock watch) and went to see the Hachiko statue in Shibuya(I missed it on the 2nd day). After that, we lugged our luggages from Sugamo station to Hamamatsucho station and took the Tokyo monorail to Haneda to catch our flight back.

Gotta say I'm impressed with how courteous the Japanese are.. When they give you the change, they will count the change individually in front of you.

It's at this place called 肉屋の台所 宮益坂ミート(near Shibuya crossing). It's not cheap though, at around 11960 yen for two pax(4980 yen for wagyu beef course + 1000 yen for free flow of alcohol). But you get free flow of marbled wagyu beef...
