Fujikyu Railway is selling a two-day Mt. Fuji 5th Station Free Pass for the 2026 climbing and sightseeing season. It can simplify a trip that combines the Fujikyu Railway line with the mountain bus from Fujisan or Kawaguchiko Station to the Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station, but it does not cover every train charge or the JR section from Tokyo.
Key Facts For Travelers
What The Pass Includes
The operator’s fare comparison puts separate round-trip train and bus tickets at JPY 5,740 for an adult, compared with JPY 4,900 for the pass. The pass also allows repeated local-train rides within the covered Fujikyu section during its two-day validity, which can be useful when staying around Fujiyoshida or Kawaguchiko before or after a 5th Station visit.
Extra Benefits
Fujikyu Railway lists a 10% discount on shop items and food or drink at Fujikyu Unjokaku at the 5th Station. The pass also reduces Kawaguchiko Station luggage storage from JPY 1,200 to JPY 600; the official page lists storage hours as 9:20 AM to 5:00 PM.
Traveler Actions
- Buy the pass online and confirm its activation rules before starting the first ride.
- Budget separately for the JR journey between Tokyo and Otsuki because that section is outside the pass.
- Buy an additional limited express ticket if you use Fuji Excursion, Fujisan Express, or Fujisan View Express instead of covered local service.
- Check the mountain-bus operating status and weather before activation; refunds are generally not available after use begins, except through the stated process when bus cancellations prevent use.
Who Is Most Likely To Save
The pass is strongest for travelers using both the railway and the 5th Station bus within two consecutive days. A visitor using only one short train ride or traveling from Tokyo entirely by highway bus should compare separate fares before purchasing.
