Hello!
We will be visiting Japan September 20-30 and during our stay in Tokyo, we would like to visit Mt. Fuji. I read your article on how to get to Mt. Fuji from Tokyo but we are looking at some day tours and not sure what would be best. We would like to take full benefit of the JR pass for our day trip to Mt. Fuji. We are looking a different kinds of tours available and a lot of the tours start in Tokyo and provide transportation (coach bus) or start at Mt. Fuji 5th station and we're not sure what is the best way to get there using JR trains/buses (if possible).
Can we travel using the shinkansen to save some time? What would be the best way to get to Mt. Fuji for the day tour - should we just use the tours leaving from Tokyo or travel to Mt. Fuji 5th Station on our own? Please let me know if you recommend any tour companies.
Your advice is very much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mary
