I highly, highly recommend renting a car!! 😗

focusing on the most popular destinations:

Good to know: If you're holding a Mini Pass, you can hop on any JR line—whether it's an express train or a local one—giving you the freedom to explore Shizuoka in Japan super affordably! 😗
🎫 Just a heads-up: since this is an international shipment, make sure to purchase it at least a week in advance!
Whether your final stop is Fuji Station or Fujinomiya Station, you'll need to catch the train from Platform 2 at Kanaya Station and head towards Fuji Station first.
Pro tip: If you sit on the left side (facing the direction of travel), you'll be treated to stunning views of Mount Fuji along the way!
I unfortunately sat on the right and missed out... oops! 😉
Once you arrive at Fuji Station, if you're continuing to Fujinomiya Station, you'll need to ✔ transfer one more time from Platform 1.
Here's the train timetable for the Fujinomiya direction! Those times highlighted with white text in red boxes are for express trains, which will get you there a bit quicker, so definitely keep that in mind!
* There's an additional charge of ~$2 if you opt for the express train.
* But great news: if you're rocking the Mini Pass (transportation pass), there's no extra fee!
For this leg of the journey, make sure to grab a seat on the right side (facing the direction of travel) if you want to soak in those iconic Mount Fuji views—it's truly the highlight of any Shizuoka trip! ✨
When you arrive at Fujinomiya and try to pass through the ticket gate, those without a Mini Pass might find themselves in a bit of a pickle! Apparently, Fuji Station and Fujinomiya Station are considered different zones, so there's an additional charge of around ~$1.
No worries though! Just speak to a station attendant, let them know you came from Fuji Station, and you can easily pay the difference with cash or a transportation card.
