The private price is per car, not per person. Split between three, the private day is about US$107 each at the current price (US$123 at the usual US$368), a little over twice a US$49 coach seat; split between five in the larger car, about US$63 each (checked October 2026).
Doing it yourself
The cheapest way to the lakes is the highway bus: ¥2,200 one way from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko Station, or ¥2,000 booked online, so ¥4,000 to ¥4,400 return. The Fuji Excursion train costs more: the Fujikyu part alone, from Otsuki to Kawaguchiko, is ¥1,170 plus a ¥600 express charge, on top of JR’s fare from Shinjuku; about ¥4,200 one way in all. At the lakes, add local buses between the viewpoints, and any ropeway or boat you ride. The train and bus guide sets out the timings.
The extras nobody prices in
- Lunch. Most coach days leave it out; the guide suggests a place, or you bring your own. The Hato Bus day includes one.
- Boats and ropeways. The Hakone pirate-ship cruise is about ¥1,700 on the day on the most-reviewed Hakone loop; the private days leave ropeway and cruise tickets to you.
- Cash. Bring cash on the classic Kawaguchiko day: many local sellers take no cards.
- The 5th Station. On the private Fuji and Hakone day, the 5th Station entrance fee, where it applies, is extra.
