I went for a trip to Kawaguchiko today. The snow was unexpected but it was beautiful! We already booked a highway bus from Kawaguchiko to Shinjuku but due to the heavy rainfall the bus was suspended and we tried to get back by train, taking the Fujikyuko(?) line to Otsuki station and planning to transfer to JR Chuo Line. However, the JR Chuo Line is heavily delayed and suspended today, we don’t think it will move any time soon. We have been stuck at Otsuki for more than 2 hours with all trains not moving at all. The station staffs all said that there is currently no clear time when the train will move.
We gave up and exited the train platform and looked for hotels around Otsuki station but they are all full. I checked google maps and it said there are some buses operating from a nearby town but I don’t know how to verify if the bus actually operates at this weather. What should I do? Is there any bus app that I can use? All taxis won’t work to Tokyo either. I am planning to book a nearby hotel and go back to Tokyo tomorrow morning, any advices on how do I find which transportation will be useable tomorrow besides the train?
