The Azusa and Kaiji run along the Chuo Main Line, departing from Shinjuku and returning from Matsumoto Station and Kofu Station.
Passengers can catch a view of Lake Sagami and watch the varying mountain landscapes of Mt. Fuji, Yatsugatake, and the Akaishi Mountains (also known as the Southern Alps) pass outside their windows on their way to Isawa Onsen, Matsumoto Castle, and other sightseeing destinations.
As of on March 16, 2019, service has opened for the FUJI EXCURSION, a Limited Express train which connects directly to the Fujikyuko Line. Passengers can enjoy easy access to the areas around Tokyo and Mt. Fuji.

Holders of JR EAST PASS get a discount for round-trip bus ticket between Matsumoto and Takayama. We highly recommend this special ticket for anyone wanting to visit Hida Takayama. Use your JR EAST PASS to take a rail trip at great savings, and you can save money on bus travel, too. This is a great opportunity to see Hida Takayama and its Shirakawa-go, a World Heritage Site.
