TRAVEL NOTES

Before you go

01Transport

Arrange your return first

A taxi makes this hillside route more practical. Plan pickup back to the station and allow waiting time.

02Budget

Allow for transport and admission

Budget separately for the onsen, food and taxis. Check current prices with the operators.

03Weather

Views depend on visibility

Mount Fuji is not always visible. Avoid the long uphill walk in rain or extreme heat and shorten the outing if needed.

Take this route into real Yamanashi City.

The map shows a driving route between three stops. Combine taxis with walking and arrange your return pickup.
