Hi @gohivan5529, we followed the direction in google maps. Also there's number in bus stops where you can check the time and the route of the bus - here, you will see the direction as well. Kawaguchiko Station is always Bus Stop 1. Or if you want to be sure, you can approach the bus driver. In this video, we boarded on Bus Stop 20 (Last Station) as it says in google maps... This goes back to Bus Stop 1. Hope this helps, Let us know if you still have questions :) More videos to be posted so stay tuned. Thank you. :)

Hi @adibmajid9886 , thanks for visiting.... yes sometimes google is delayed so don't just rely in google maps. Some can be quite misleading... More research and ask locals around - they can be quite helpful. More uploads to be posted soon so stay tuned :) Happy watching!

Hi allychen880, not stupid actually as many are confused as well. Not all buses have numbers or signages displayed especially when we went to Otaru from Sapporo. We just relied to Googlemaps and it directed us to Otaru Ekimae Bus Terminal . It is actually a bus stop not a big terminal.. Since we already have suica card we used that to pay for the fare. But if you don't have you can pay cash, you need to get the ticket ... there is a small ticket machine just beside the bus step. Some drivers do not know much English but they can recognize location and keywords 'Otaru' so you can mention it. The bus stop is in front of the Sapporo Clock Tower ... it was not captured in the video but yes it is very near to it and Sapporo City Hall. Just let us know if you still have inquiries... happy to help. Check out the return trip as well. Enjoy Sapporo :) More to uploads to come so stay tuned :) Happy watching!

Hi @jamesarevalo1626 , there is another hotel which is Fukuoka Toei Hotel but this is quite far to Ohori Park. Heiwadai Hotel Arato is near Ohiri Park .

@@Diariesofahappyfeet thank you

Madam ano po papa card ang pwede sa Fukuoka? Gumagana ba pasmo?

@@jamesarevalo1626 hi, yes even suica works in fukuoka. as long as there is IC Card or machine reader displayed or logo displayed it should work. If you don't have ic card, you can buy there in fukuoka. Hayakaken is the prepaid IC card of Fukuoka City for the Fukuoka Subway and buses. You can check my other videos how to use the ic card. Hope this helps. Let us know if you still have questions thank you

Otaru station

Hi like any market, they usually cover their stalls with plastic. Also some stores are inside the building. Hope this helps thank you

Hi @exodus_cl, yes they normally stop. they should follow the schedule specified in the timetable so you don't need to wave or anything. This is true to Japanese buses in general and this makes it comfortable to any visitor alike. Thanks for watching.. More uploads coming soon. You can check out our Bus Playlist :)

Hi @gene4012 , yes this area Oishi Park is open any time of the day. There's no gate or anything like it. It is really recommended to visit in the morning than late at night because there are no light posts in the evening and it is very dark . Check out this other video we have th-cam.com/video/92VjGpfvHCo/w-d-xo.html. Happy Watching! More posts coming in so stay tuned :) Thank you.

Hi, Thank you for visiting. More Japan videos coming so stay tuned. :)

Hi @gratess04 , technically every highway bus to the Fuji Five Lakes area stops at Fuji-Q Highland along the way. These include direct buses to/from Shinjuku, Tokyo Station and Yokohama Station to Kawaguchiko Station. But this needs reservation online or you can purchase ticket from ticket counters. There used to be a free bus called Free Fujikyu Loop Shuttle Bus - brown line but this is for customers who use the facilities of the Fujikyu Group - if you buy passes/tickets for Fuji Q Highland then you can ride this for free. These are the routes A.Highland Resort Hotel & SPA B.Fujiyama Onsen C.Fujisan Station Hotel D.Mt.Fuji Station E.Fujikyu Highland Station F.Kawaguchiko Station G.Fujisan World Heritage Center A.Highland Resort Hotel & SPA H.PICA Fujiyoshida 2 services/day I.PICA Fujiyama 2 services/day A.Highland Resort Hotel & SPA Entry to Fuji-Q is free! Rather than paying to get in, you buy tickets for individual rides. If you plan on staying the whole day, we recommend the Fuji-Q 1-Day Free Pass for unlimited fun at almost every attraction in the park. If you want to squeeze a lot of rides into a short time, there’s also an Afternoon Free Pass option. If you wish to visit Fuji Q Highland directly , a ticket to Fujikyu Highland Station on the Fujikyuko Line will be about ¥1,100 (if you come from Otsuki Station) or if you come from Kawaguchiko Station, train ticket to Fuji Q Highland takes only 2 minute ride which cost around ¥180 - departs every 20 minutes. Hope this helps... Enjoy watching! and stay tuned for more uploads :)

Hi @mishunot, Yes there are routes using bullet train.... From Kawaguchiko Station you can take Fujikyuko train bound to Otsuki Station and then transfer from Otsuki Station going southbound to Shin-Osaka via Shinkansen/Bullet Train. Osaka is big. Which in particular are you going in Osaka? There are lots of ways to do this. We documented a part of our journey going to Osaka here using Bullet Train. One of the best experiences we had. th-cam.com/video/lZK1fSwDa08/w-d-xo.html More Japan videos to be posted soon including trains, routes and buses so please stay tuned! Thank you and Enjoy Watching :)

Hi @Mishunot, which area in Mt Fuji you want to stay? Most tourists take the bus trip from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo to Kawaguchiko Station then stay in that area because this area is known for its 5 surrounding lakes at the base of Mt Fuji. Green Line and Red Line buses have different sightseeing spots. We documented the Red Line bus here which you can check it out also - th-cam.com/video/dUQiFwoxRxw/w-d-xo.html More upcoming Japan videos to be posted soon. Stay tuned for our next episode. Happy Watching!

@@Diariesofahappyfeet don’t have any clue where to stay, we will travel by bus if we decide to stay in mt.fuji for few days, then to Osaka, any hotel suggestions with decent price?

Hi @@mishunot , hotels/accommodation in Kawaguchiko area gets pricier during peak seasons but you can get a good deal if you book earlier than your expected travel dates so this can be quite a challenge depending on the time or date of your booking. Not sure with the prices but some guests we knew stayed at Fujikyu-Highland, Fujiyama Onsen, Highland Resort Hotel & Spa, Fujisan Station Hotel, Highland Station Inn,... basically it has free loop shuttle bus service - only for guests of designated Fujikyu facilities.​ ​ The shuttle runs between the designated facilities in addition to Fujikyu Railway Kawaguchiko station, Fujikyu-Highland station and Mt. Fuji station. You can check out some details here www.highlandstation-inn.com/en/loop_bus/index_en.php There are budget hostels as well if you don't fancy staying in hotels. Hostels in Japan are pretty much decent and clean . Better stay near the Kawaguchiko Area since you are bound to Osaka.... - you may wish to try their Fujikyuko train when you visit Osaka and try their Shinkansen Bullet train too. We documented this trip as well so please stay tuned. :)

@@Diariesofahappyfeet we are going in November, we will be in Japan for 3werks, we’l go to Tokyo-Osaka-Nagoya, it seems complicated if we stay in mt.fuji for few nights, I think after 7days in Tokyo, we’l go to Osaka by bullet train, I haven’t seen any videos on TH-cam travelling from mt.Fuji area to Osaka by train, can’t wait to see your uploads, thanks for your help

Hi @mishunot, the itinerary you mentioned is possible and popular route amoung tourists alike. From Kawaguchiko Station you can take Fujikyuko train bound to Otsuki Station and then transferred from Otsuki Station going southbound to Shin-Osaka via Shinkansen/Bullet Train. You may wish to book seat reservation for Shinkansen bound to Osaka. We prefer you go to Osaka in the morning so you can get a better chance of seeing Mt Fuji while on the bullet train. We documented a part of our journey going to Osaka using Shinkansen here th-cam.com/video/lZK1fSwDa08/w-d-xo.html For the rest of the video, this will be released in the coming weeks so please stay tuned. :) Happy Watching.

Hi @Ira_l23689, yes there are buses available . You can check out Express Mishima Kawaguchiko Liner to Mishima Station. Takes around 1 hr 20 min This bus gets crowded especially during peak seasons, so it is recommended to make reservations via the Internet. However, even without a reservation, you can board the bus if there are seats available." - www.fujikyucitybus.com Fujikyu City Bus [Limited Express] Mishima‧Kawaguchiko Liner to Mishima Sta. (South Exit) JPY 2,500 1h 30min Hope this helps. Stay tuned as we posts more Japan Videos in the coming days. :)

Hi @kapilachandrabharathi7134, yes worth the visit :) Thanks for watching. more videos coming up. :)

yes, but for this trip, bus driver suggested to use ticket instead. probably the machine reader is not working.

Awesome! Thank you!

Hi @bluebenz2005, thank you. Expect more japan videos to be posted soon. Enjoy watching and enjoy sapporo :)

Hi @AinaandLouise , you can actually store your luggages in Kawaguchiko station. if you watched my other video, you can see the lockers just beside the bus terminal. There are various locker sizes you can see there... like big small or medium , extra big, depending on the the luggage sizes but you need to check it's availability because sometimes this gets occupied quickly depending on the season you are coming. Definitely busy during peak seasons. If you are coming just to roam around for a day, we actually don't recommend bringing your luggages with you while on tour because it can be such a hassle hopping on and off except of course if you are going to your accommodation. But if you can manage then i think it's doable. There is a small compartment in local buses to store your luggages which is normally located in the overhead or at the back of the driver's seat but it certainly does not apply to all buses. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching and stay tuned as more Japan posts are coming :) Enjoy the beautiful Japan!

Hi @rub1316 , yes this what normally happens in local buses. you enter through the back door , tap the IC card near the door, then before you exit in the front door (near the driver) you tap your card again.... but during our trip to Nakagawara on our way to Attack on Titans - Oyama Dam, the driver instructed us to get a ticket instead because at that time the machine reader for IC at the back door is broken and so we have to pay manually. In order to do this, you get the ticket at the back, then before your exit, you go to the front and pay the driver by putting the ticket and the coins (preferably) to the coin box together. ( you give the exact amount). For the amount ,you will need to check the screen on display located in front, (you need to be attentive because it's not shown in English at least in this trip we only see Japanese Characters so we need to rely to Google Maps to cross check the station ) . The screen shows how much you need to pay for that stop. if you have larger bills, then you need to change them to coins , They have a machine where you can change to small bills .Then everything - the amount and the ticket, you put them to the box then exit. . So in summary , How to pay You will pay the bus fare as you depart. If using the JR Pass on a JR bus line, simply show the driver your pass. On some buses, you will touch your pass to a sensor when you pick up your ticket and when you exit through the front door. If you don’t have a pass or are using a non-JR bus, find your ticket number on the display. This will show you your fare in yen. If you need to make change from larger bills, a change machine is located near the driver. Finally, you will drop the bus fare along with your ticket into a transparent box next to the driver. Then you may depart the bus. I hope this helps. This video is only Part 1 of our Attack on Titans Journey. More to come so stay tuned. Thank you

Hi @hancejowo5921, yes stay tuned as we post more Japan videos in the coming days. :) really excited to share.
