Question 1

Where is the race packet pickup?

Accepted Answer

Packet pickup typically takes place at the Funatsuhama Hiraba area (the race venue) the day before the event. There is generally no race-day pickup, so plan to arrive by Saturday.

Question 2

How do I get to Fujikawaguchiko from Tokyo?

The easiest way is the Fuji Excursion limited express train from Shinjuku Station directly to Kawaguchiko Station (approx. 2 hours). Alternatively, Highway Buses run frequently from Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal.

Question 3

Is the course flat?

Accepted Answer

The course around Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Saiko is mostly flat, but there is a significant hill section around the 21km mark as you transition between the two lakes. Be prepared for a steep climb and descent.
