OMG Limited Express Excursion was so hard. Don't try to understand it. Just ask the station staff to buy tickets. Yes, a ticket is required because it's JR rail + Fujikyu rail and apparently they don't help each other out. Cars no. 1 ~ no. 3 are the Limited Express and require tickets (maybe even reserved seating...I couldn't figure that part out) and will take you to Kawaguchiko directly from Shinjuku. If you get on car no. 4 and beyond, you're screwed.
The train is very pretty and comfortable. Direct line to the destination is always the best.
When I asked the station staff to buy the return tickets, even the station staff had to think about it and clicked around on the computer multiple times to get tickets for me. So again, save your brain to research what to do at Kawaguchiko. Don't spend time on this.

Fruity-flavored alcohol sold at the souvenir shop at the train station. The peach one was 7% alcohol; not bad.
