AI overview

Asahigaoka Bus Terminal — reopened in 2006 as "Mori no Eki" (Forest Station) — is the main bus hub on Lake Yamanaka's Asahigaoka shore, and the most useful single transit node in the area. Highway buses run here from Busta Shinjuku, Tokyo Station and beyond, while local Fujikyu route buses link it to Fujisan Station, Kawaguchiko and Gotemba — passing Oshino Hakkai on the way — and the Fujikko sightseeing bus loops the lake from out front. It's also where the Kaba amphibious bus launches. Upstairs is the ticket counter and waiting room; downstairs is a souvenir shop and rest stop, with lake views across the road. Two practical notes: it shuts around 5 PM, so plan your last connection, and book highway seats ahead because the counter can sell out.
