Quaddell Reis
Yamanashi & Nagano, Japan
The Super Azusa and Kaiji limited express trains are among the easiest and most comfortable ways to travel from Tokyo to Central Japan. Departing primarily from Shinjuku Station, these trains provide fast access to destinations such as Kofu, Matsumoto, and the Japanese Alps region. Along the journey, travelers can enjoy beautiful mountain scenery, countryside landscapes, and even views of Mount Fuji on clear days. Reserved seating is highly recommended during weekends, holidays, and peak travel seasons. If exploring smaller towns such as Narai-juku, consider traveling light or using luggage forwarding services for a smoother experience.
