Tokyo - Mount Fuji - Atami, a guide to connecting attractions around Tokyo

Many people are aware of how to enjoy a certain attraction around Tokyo, but they might not be clear about the transportation and connections in between. Today, I will provide a detailed guide to help you understand how to connect these places. 🕕For the total time, I recommend spending one day each at Mount Fuji and Atami to cover most of the attractions. For a more relaxed trip, I suggest two days each. 🗼→🗻: To get from Tokyo to Mount Fuji, there are mainly two modes of transportation: you can take a bus or the Fujikyu railway. The bus is relatively cheaper and more convenient as it doesn't require transfers. 💰Bus fare is around 100r, and the train fare is about 200r. Boarding location: Shinjuku Mount Fuji attractions: Ogurasan Asama Shrine: There is a tower and a viewpoint of Mount Fuji on the mountain, get off at Shimoyoshida Station. Hikawa Watch Shop: Also get off at Shimoyoshida Station, but this place is more crowded, just a photo spot. Kawaguchiko Station: The transportation hub of the Kawaguchiko area, with many tourist centers and specialty stores, and it is also the terminal station of the train. 🗻→🏖️From Mount Fuji to Atami, if you search on the map, there are many routes to choose from. However, after trying them out personally, the most reliable route should be: Take a bus to Mishima Station, and from there, it only takes about fifteen minutes to take a train to Atami. The express bus to Mishima takes about 2 hours, and the total journey is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The main attraction in Atami is the fireworks festival. In the surrounding area of Atami, you can visit the cactus park mentioned before, right next to it is the green Matcha Mountain. Besides, there are many art galleries to explore, and I also highly recommend staying overnight at a seaside inn in Atami.
