Hi, i have a question about buying bus tickets to go to Kawaguchiko from Shinjuku bus station. Reading articles online, it 's faster and cheaper to use buses to go to Kawaguchiko, however, they also said that these tickets can be sold out rather quickly. Question:

Is it a big risk for me to buy the bus tickets at Shinjuku on the spot? Can i buy the bus tickets like 1 day in advance? I also saw websites selling these tickets online (https://japanbusonline.com/Detail/11500410001/3130000/4194255/) , but it seems like they only depart from Tokyo station instead of Shinjuku, have anyone tried using this website before? How does it work?

Thanks.. =)

Thanks for the reply!

So how does the online booking works? i tried searching on that site and the FAQs and there weren't any information on the step-by-step procedure. After i make the reservation online, it will give me something like a booking confirmation sheet? What do i do after that? Thanks!

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

Hi, do anyone have any input for me about this? Where do i have to go to get my tickets with my booking confirmation? Is it any ticketing office? Thanks.

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!
