Fuji-Q Highland
This area, centered around Fuji-Q Highland, boasts some of the world’s best thrill rides, offering both a place for excitement and relaxation. After a day at the amusement park, a popular way to unwind is to visit the adjacent Fujiyama Onsen and refresh yourself while gazing at the majestic Mt.Fuji.
We also recommend strolling through the admission-free Lisa and Gaspard Town, or visiting the famous Yoshida udon noodle restaurants scattered around the area, known for their firm texture. It’s a fulfilling tourist spot where you can enjoy both active experiences and a resort atmosphere at the same time.
For highway buses, booking early gives you peace of mind.
The Shinjuku–Fuji Five Lakes Line is also very popular among international visitors to Japan.
Seats often sell out throughout the year, on both weekdays and weekends.
- ✔ By booking in advance, you can secure your seat.
- ✔ Board with a mobile ticket without lining up at the ticket counter or ticket machine
- ✔ If your return schedule is already decided, we recommend booking your return trip at the same time
