In Case of Using Train and Bus
From JR Shinjuku (新宿) station to Musashi-Itsukaichi (武蔵五日市) station
The best way is by holiday rapid train (holiday kaisoku, ホリデー快速) from JR Shinjuku station to Musashi-Itsukaichi (武蔵五日市). Unfortunately, there are only a few of those on limited holydays and weekends, which leave from platform 11 and take 1 hour and 10 minutes. Note that only the front half of train completes the entire journey to Musashi-Itsukaichi Station, the remaining carriages going to Okutama (奥多摩).
Alternatively, from Platform 12 station on the same station, catch a more frequent rapid service train (快速) or special service train (特別快速) to Tachikawa (立川) Station on the Chūō Line. Those take 38 and 27 minutes, respectively. At the Tachikawa, change to Platform 1/2, which is the JR Ōme Line (青梅線). It will probably be necessary to change again at Haijima (拝島) Station for the last part of the journey to Musashi-Itsukaichi, the terminus of the Itsukaichi Line (五日市線). From Tachikawa to Musashi-Itsukaichi takes a total of 30-40 minutes, not including connection time. A single ticket from Shinjuku to Musashi-Isukaichi costs 799 JPY.
Please check the latest timetable, because the timetable and fare are sometimes changed.
