Good to know
Choose by how you arrive. Kawaguchiko Station is the end of the Fujikyu Line and the start of the loop buses, so K's House Mt.

Fujiyoshida and Lake Yamanakako suit Fuji-Q Highland and the eastern lakes.
From Tokyo the hotels give about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours to Kawaguchiko Station by highway bus from Shinjuku, and about 2 hours by JR Chuo Line and the Fujikyu Line. Kamenoi Hotel Fuji and Hotel Mt. Fuji list the Busta Shinjuku buses as their route.
Check the cut-off times before a late arrival. K's House Mt. Fuji's reception closes at 20:00 and last check-in at Kamenoi Hotel Fuji is 18:00 on most plans. Check-in at Fuji Lake Hotel is 14:00 or 15:00 depending on the room. Hot-spring baths are noted on each card; hours were read from each hotel's own pages on 20 October 2026.
