A Fuji Kyuko City Bus notice warns that Typhoon 15 may affect several highway-bus routes on August 12. This is a possibility notice, not a blanket cancellation: passengers need to check whether their own departure is operating before traveling to the stop.

Short answerThe operator lists the Mishima-Kawaguchiko Liner and the Fujigaku Liner among services that may be cancelled on August 12. A cancellation is not confirmed until the operator posts it, so check the official notice and your booking channel immediately before departure.

Key Facts For Travelers

Affected dateWednesday, August 12, 2026.
Fuji-area routes namedMishima-Kawaguchiko Liner and Fujigaku Liner.
Current status wordingCancellation is possible; confirmed cancellations will be announced by the operator.
Refund principleTickets for a service that is officially cancelled are eligible for a refund, with the procedure depending on where and how the ticket was purchased.

What Travelers Should Check

Do not treat a normal timetable or an existing reservation as proof that the bus will operate. Weather, road controls, and vehicle positioning can change the final decision, so use the operator’s latest announcement rather than a third-party timetable screenshot.

If the bus is part of a Shinkansen, airport, hotel, or same-day attraction connection, prepare a second route and allow extra time. The operator does not say that every listed departure is cancelled; it says cancellation is possible and that confirmed suspensions will be announced.

Refunds Depend on the Purchase Channel

For the Mishima-Kawaguchiko Liner, the notice says online credit-card or ID-payment bookings made through SEKITORI are automatically refunded when the service is cancelled. Convenience-store payments require passengers to follow the email sent by SEKITORI.

Tickets bought at a bus-company counter are handled at an eligible bus-company counter. A credit-card counter purchase must be taken back to the original counter with the payment card and customer receipt. Other booking services should be checked through their own website or message.

Traveler Actions

  • Open the official disruption notice immediately before leaving for the bus stop.
  • Check the exact departure in the same booking service used to purchase your ticket.
  • Keep the confirmation email, ticket, receipt, and payment card available until the trip is complete.
  • Prepare a rail or later-travel alternative if your schedule cannot absorb a cancellation.
  • Do not cancel solely because the route appears on the warning list; follow the operator’s confirmed status and the refund instructions for your purchase channel.
