Fuji Safari Park

The bus timetable from Gotemba Station to the Fuji Safari Park is not readily available so it makes my planning there haywire. We wasted 1.5hrs at the Gotemba Station waiting for the next bus. They should have the bus timetable updated in the website. My daughter and I were looking forward to the park for months only to be spoilt by the rain. When it rains, there isnt much to do except to ride in the jungle bus. Note that many advise to do the self drive option, but u are NOT ALLOWED to drive the navigation car if u DO NOT SPEAK/UNDERSTAND japanese. Ensure that you have an international license cert with you. However if u rent a car outside (Eg. from Gotemba station area) then u are allowed to drive in. I have no idea what are the difference. So we were crushed when we could do the self drive option. Due to the rain, we only managed to get onto the jungle bus and spent time in the house of cats and rabbits. Even the animals around the walking safari route were kept away. So basically we didnt get to see much animals. Ultimate disappointment. #newyearadventure
