Planning Tips
- Use the Japan Rail Pass — if you hold a rail pass, the JR line offers an economical way to travel from Tokyo or Shinjuku to Fujisawa.
- Connect via the Odakyu Line — for a slightly cheaper direct journey from Shinjuku without a rail pass, take the Rapid-express or Express on the Odakyu Line.
- Enoden station logistics — note that the Enoden platform at Fujisawa station is located inside the Odakyu department store, not the main station plaza.
- Pack for variable summer weather — with average precipitation of 4.6 mm during the travel window, it is wise to bring a light rain layer.
