Mt.Fuji & Shinkansen

How to get to Mt. Fuji by bullet train (Shinkansen)?

Hello,
This is Hirokane at Local Travel Partners.
I hope you and your family are safe and fine.
Today, I would like to share “How to get to Mount Fuji (Yoshida Trail) by bullet train (Shinkansen)?”

To be precise, we can not reach Mount Fuji only using Shinkansen (bullet train).
Shinkansen + sightseeing shuttle bus is correct.
This is a recommended way for people who want to get to Mt.Fuji easily and stay at a luxury ryokan hotel and spa.
(2 nights at a ryokan and 1 night at a mountain hut)

The itinerary is below.
This is the itinerary that we arranged for our guest from Norway (photo below) in 2019.
Day 1,

Norwegian traveler

At JR Mishima Station, Welcome to Japan!

1, Arrive at JR Mishima Station by bullet train (Shinkansen)
(It takes about 50 minutes from JR Tokyo Station)
2, Take a reserved shuttle bus which the Hotel Kaneyama-en (near the Lake Yamanaka)  provides. (It takes about 2.5 hours including one time stop for sightseeing)
3, The bus will stop at a sightseeing spot (spot changes with the season) and reach the hotel.
(This shuttle bus is served only for guests who will stay at Hotel Kaneyama-en.)
4, 1 night at the ryokan.  Great enjoyment!
Beautiful Japanese garden, Matcha service at their tatami room, delicious Japanese Kaiseki meal, Powerful Japanese drum (taiko) show by their staff every night, majestic Mt.Fuji view from the open air bath (hot spring spa)  and wearing kimono experience ( an option).
