Luggage Allowance
Passengers can bring standard carry-on bags and up to two larger items. For Shinkansen, items exceeding total dimensions of 250 cm or weighing more than 30 kg may require prior arrangement. Check local operator rules for final regional legs.

Rail travel combines city-center to near-mountain access with clear transfer points and frequent Shinkansen departures, reducing overall travel time compared with long-distance buses. Buses provide direct links to some Fuji-area towns but take longer door-to-door. Flights between nearby major airports have shorter airborne time but require airport transfers and do not deliver you close to mountain access points. For city-to-Fuji travel, rail remains the most practical option for predictable schedules and station access.
