Fujiyoshi Question (after reading other post)
-----------------------------------
Note: Sorry moderators, I posted this in the wrong area.  Could you be kind enough to move it for me?  Thank you. :)

Hi all,

We are going to Japan for our honeymoon! Can't wait!

I was thinking of staying at Fujiyoshi (Shizuoka-ken) for 2 nights.  We were going to stay at Hakone Ginyu but its booked out.

Anyway, I came across this forum and the other post about how nice the place is, so I think thats settled it, however, I have a bunch of related questions I want to confirm before I book it, and thats the time to get there.

We will be going to Fujiyoshi from Kyoto.  Is it within a couple of hours of there on the JR?  And I assume its to the Shizuoka JR station?

Also, transfer from the JR to Fujiyoshi itself.  I hear that area isn't great if you don't have a car yourself, and we don't want to spend a fortune on a taxi - whats the deal here, is there a regular bus or something?  We don't mind catching a taxi but I hear horror stories about taxis costing a fortune for short trips.

Lastly, its our last stay before leaving Japan, we're leaving from Narita 8.25pm on the day we checkout of Fujiyoshi.  So we should get to the airport by about 6pm.  That means getting from Fujiyoshi to Tokyo, then catching the Limo Coach to Narita.  Is this going to be ok?  I assume I can catch the Limo coach from anywhere in Tokyo that it stops without booking it??

Am I correct in assuming:

Kyoto to Shizuoka (if thats the right station for Fujiyoshi)  - no more than 2 hours?

Shizuoka JR to Tokyo - 1.5hrs?

Limo bus from Tokyo to Narita - give 2 hours to be sure

Just not sure about to and from Fujiyoshi Ryokan and Shizuoka JR.

Oh, I'm running out of time to book, everything is getting booked out in advance, so if you are hestitating whether to post a reply or not, please do!!!  I'm starting to panic big time.  

Thanks HEAPS!
