Fujikyu Hero Academia Wrapped Train Starts September 18: Timetable Guide

Information checked: September 12, 2026, 8:39 AM JST.

Fujikyu Railway says a My Hero Academia collaboration train will operate on the Fujikyu Line from Friday, September 18, through Sunday, November 8. The operator plans to publish running times for weekends and holidays only, usually two or three days before each operating date.

Short answerDo not assume the wrapped train runs on every departure. Check the official collaboration-train page shortly before a weekend or holiday visit, then verify the normal timetable and live operating conditions on the day because the announced times can change without notice.

Key Facts For Travelers

Affected routeFujikyu Railway between Otsuki, Mt. Fuji, Fuji-Q Highland, and Kawaguchiko.
Operating periodSeptember 18-November 8, 2026.
Published running timesWeekends and holidays only, normally updated two or three days beforehand.
Change warningListed times may change because of the day’s operating conditions.

How To Find The Wrapped Train

The railway’s September 11 announcement confirms the operating period but does not provide one permanent timetable. Instead, the page will be updated shortly before weekend and holiday operations.

Open the operator page two or three days before travel, note the relevant departure, and recheck on the day. A regular Fujikyu train remains the safer basis for a fixed itinerary if seeing the special livery is optional.

Use It For Fuji-Q Access

The collaboration runs during the related Fuji-Q Highland event. Fuji-Q Highland Station is directly beside the park, while Kawaguchiko and Mt. Fuji stations serve wider sightseeing and lodging areas.

The theme-park event page says the collaboration includes attractions, tickets, a digital stamp rally, food, goods, a wrapped highway bus, and the train. Each item has its own price or availability conditions, so train travel alone does not include the paid park activities.

Ticket Planning

The railway highlights a separate Fuji-Q Highland set ticket combining two days of unlimited Fujikyu Line travel with a one-day park pass. It advertises savings of up to 35 percent compared with buying the components separately.

Compare the current set-ticket price with your actual route before buying. Travelers who need only a single rail trip or who will not enter the park may be better served by ordinary tickets or another pass.

Traveler Actions

  • Check the official collaboration-train page two or three days before a weekend or holiday trip.
  • Recheck on the travel day because the published operation can change.
  • Build fixed connections around the normal timetable, not only the special train.
  • Compare the two-day rail and park set ticket with separate fares before purchase.
  • Confirm park opening hours and attraction status separately from the railway announcement.
