Fujikyu San-X Paradise Train 2026: September 1 Start and Boarding Gift Guide

Travel News Watch

Information checked: August 29, 2026, 8:31 AM JST.

Fujikyu Railway says a decorated 6000-series local train linked to Fuji-Q Highland’s San-X Paradise area will begin operating on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The special train is planned to run through February 2027, and limited boarding certificates will be distributed later in the operating period.

Short answerThe collaboration train starts September 1 and is planned through February 2027. The operator has not published a fixed daily timetable on the announcement page, so travelers should check the current service information rather than building a trip around a guaranteed departure.

Key Facts For Travelers

Boarding certificatesThree designs planned from mid-September, November, and January; 1,000 of each.

Do Not Assume A Fixed Departure

The official launch notice gives the operating period but does not list a daily train number or departure time. Because special local-train assignments can change, check Fujikyu Railway’s current operating information before heading to a station.

The train is intended to make the journey to Fuji-Q Highland part of the attraction, but ordinary Fujikyu fares and ticket rules still apply unless the operator announces a separate product.

How The Boarding Certificate Works

The official campaign page plans three certificate designs: the first from mid-September, the second from November, and the third from January. Each design is limited to the first 1,000 eligible visitors and can finish once supplies run out.

Certificates are for passengers who use the Fujikyu Railway and get off at Fuji-Q Highland Station. Ask the station-window staff during the listed 7:55 AM-5:40 PM window; exact distribution start dates will be announced separately.

Ticket And Transfer Planning

Travelers arriving from Tokyo normally transfer to the Fujikyu Railway at Otsuki unless using a direct through-service. A two-day Fujikyu Railway pass combined with a Fuji-Q Highland day pass is also introduced on the official page, but compare the current price with your actual itinerary before purchase.

If the decorated train is important to your visit, keep an alternative ordinary service in the plan. The collaboration is an added experience, not a reason to miss a reserved connection or park-entry time.
