Fujikyu Bus says its Town Sneaker local buses will not use the Furatto (富楽時) stop in Fujiyoshida during the Furatto Festival on Saturday, October 24. If your trip starts or ends near this stop, choose an alternative before leaving your accommodation.

Short answerThe Furatto stop is suspended on October 24, 2026 from 8:00 to 15:00 JST. Fujikyu Bus directs passengers to Chuo Dori, Nishiura Dori / Nishiura Dori Iriguchi, or Yoshida High School Ent. instead. Its official PDF maps the alternatives at roughly 150–200 metres from Furatto; the best one depends on your Town Sneaker loop and travel direction. Check the PDF map and current timetable rather than assuming every alternative serves your bus.

Which Stop Should You Use?

Fujikyu Bus published a one-page notice with a route map and the three alternatives. Chuo Dori and Yoshida High School Ent. are each shown at approximately 150 metres from Furatto; Nishiura Dori is shown at approximately 200 metres. These are map estimates, not an accessibility or walking-time guarantee.

The web notice calls the middle alternative Nishiura Dori Iriguchi (西裏通り入口), while the PDF labels it Nishiura Dori (西裏通り). Use the map and your bus direction to identify the correct boarding point. The Town Sneaker has three loops, so do not treat all three stops as interchangeable.

Plan Around The Festival Window

The suspension is announced for 8:00–15:00 on October 24. The operator has not announced a network-wide Town Sneaker shutdown in this notice: the specific change is that buses cannot serve Furatto during that period. Other operating details may change, so check the official Town Sneaker timetable shortly before travel.

If you are carrying luggage, traveling with children or need a step-free route, allow more than the map distance suggests and confirm the practical path in advance. For a tight connection, call Fujikyu Bus at 0555-72-6877 rather than relying on a map estimate alone.
