-Product Introduction-
- The Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway, located in Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, is the main mode of transportation to Mt. Tenjō (the setting for the famous Japanese folktale "Katsuzan"). The ropeway takes only 3 minutes one way to reach the summit observation deck at an altitude of 1,075 meters, offering panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and the tranquil surface of Lake Kawaguchi. On a clear day, the view extends as far as the Southern Alps, including Mt. Akaishi and Mt. Arakawa.
- The observation deck underwent a complete renovation in 2017, expanding to twice the size of the old one. It also features the "Panoramic View Corridor," a gently sloping walkway with a universal design, allowing visitors with mobility issues to easily access the site. Mt. Tenjo is also a literary mecca—the writer Osamu Dazai drew inspiration from this place to create "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji" and "Katsuyama" (included in "Otogizoshi"). A Dazai Osamu literary monument is still preserved on the mountainside for visitors to visit.
- Several unique facilities are located at the summit. The "Spectacular Swing" is a popular highlight of the area. The large swing, about 3.5 meters high, is located on a higher floor of the observation deck and offers VIP seating. Swinging towards Mount Fuji, it feels like flying into the endless mountain scenery before your eyes. The magnificent and exhilarating experience has often become a hot topic on social media. The "Spectacular Observation Deck," completed in 2019, extends outward from the cliff edge at an altitude of 1,110 meters, resembling a bridge reaching into the sky. At the end, you can look up at the majestic Mount Fuji without any obstruction.
- The mountaintop is also imbued with cultural atmosphere. The "Rabbit Shrine" enshrines a rabbit-shaped deity, with two komainu (guardian rabbits) on either side each carrying a symbolic meaning: touching the curled-up "Dream Rabbit" is believed to grant wisdom, while touching the standing "Fujimi Rabbit" is believed to grant strong legs. The "Celestial Bell," facing Mount Fuji, rings with a powerful and awe-inspiring presence. "Pottery Throwing" is a traditional game for praying to the mountain deities in the heavens. The "Tanuki Chaya" shop at the summit serves its signature dango (tanuki dango with mirin sauce/rabbit dango with black honey and soybean flour) baked over binchotan charcoal, a delightful treat to enjoy while gazing at Mount Fuji – a perfect way to spend your trip.
"The Mount Kachikachi Super View Swing" (additional charge) * May be closed due to bad weather, inspections, etc. Please ask staff on the day for details.

You can take the Kawaguchiko Sightseeing Bus (Red Line) and alight at the "Pleasure Boat/Ropeway Entrance" stop, which is conveniently located directly in front of the lower ropeway station. Alternatively, it's about a 10 to 15-minute walk along the scenic lakefront from Kawaguchiko Station.
The Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway does not ascend Mount Fuji directly. Instead, it takes you up Mount Tenjo, which is situated on the opposite side of Lake Kawaguchiko.
