TRaveling from tokyo shinjuku to kawaguchiko station

hello can someone please help me understand how to get tickets to go from shinjuku to kawaguchiko? I’ve been reading online and theres two different answers.

I will be in Shinjuku on 03/23/24 and from what I understand, at 7:30am I get on Fuji excursion on the JR Chuo line and those tickets need to be booked in advanced (is there an online website for that?)

then the Otsuki-Kawaguchiko line is not covered by Jr rail pass so I would pay out of pocket. but I am not sure how to pay for the tickets. Am I suppose to get off the train and pay at a transfer gate/touch panel and then get back on the train or do I stay in my seat and wait for the conductor to come?

thank you!

  1. There’s a bus service from shinjuku to kawaguchiko i know I have a record of it somewhere I already forgot the details, that was last 2019. Try look for that option, takes you to Kawaguchiko Station.

  2. I was there this November and took a bus. Let me search the details and come back to you.
