Reply To: ”Fuji Excursion” train
Hi Justin:
We took the Fuji excursion from Tokyo to Fujikawaguchiko in March 2023. I am not a full time wheelchair user so I did not request a wheelchair accessible seat, but I think based on our experience, you might want to inquire directly at the station.
For one thing, as I am sure you’ve realized, it’s a limited schedule (three trains there and three back per day). Also, we noticed (during the ride) that the train will split at some point so the passengers who were continuing to Fujikawaguchiko had to travel standing. By sheer luck we were in a car where we did not have to move. Very fortunate because I can’t stand for very long!
The ride is lovely and the train is quite nice. I’d advise you to get your seat at the station ahead of time to avoid any potential “moving around” during the trip. Have a great time!
