When it comes to getting around like a local, nothing beats the convenience of public transport. For tourists, however, it can be a little overwhelming and confusing — not to mention the hassle of fishing for spare change in your pocket every time you need to ride. If you're planning a trip around Mount Fuji and Shizuoka Prefecture, do yourself a favor and purchase a JR Central Mt. Fuji-Shizuoka Area Tourist Pass.

This pass allows unlimited trips on JR limited express, express, rapid, and ordinary trains on Tokaido Main Line, Gotemba Line, Minobu Line, and other JR-operated transportation. Valid for 3 consecutive days after the activation date, it's great value for those who want to visit Mount Fuji, Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, Chibi Maruko-chan Land, and other destinations in the area. Take advantage of this great offer to see a lot more for a lot less!
