About Mount Fuji Scenic Cable Car
Enjoy the views of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi by taking the cable car to Tenjo-san Park.
Details
The Fujisan Scenic Cable Car (Fujisan Panorama Cable Car) connects Lake Kawaguchi with Mount Tenjo. From the cable car, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Lake Kawaguchi below. The park at the summit of Mount Tenjo is a well-known spot where you can enjoy a direct view of the breathtaking scenery of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. The observation deck, renovated in July 2017, is now twice the size of the previous one. In addition to the panoramic view of Mount Fuji and the charming scenery at its foot, there are also popular attractions such as the Tenjo Bell, the Rabbit Shrine, and the Pot-Throwing site, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the sightseeing experience.
Mount Tenjo is said to be the setting of the famous Japanese fairy tale "KACHI KACHI Mountain," and it features facilities such as the "Rabbit Shrine" and the "Tanuki Tea House." Additionally, it is also connected to the renowned author Osamu Dazai. Dazai spent some time at the Tenka Tea House in Misaka Pass, Kawaguchi, which inspired him to write the famous essay collection "Fugaku Hyakkei." To commemorate this great writer, a literary monument has been erected in Tenjo Park.
Mount Tenjo offers different beautiful sceneries throughout the four seasons, especially during the autumn foliage period when the view of the mountains covered in red maple leaves from the cable car is not to be missed. Moreover, winter has less rainfall and clearer air, making it a great spot to admire Mount Fuji.
Although visitors can take the Fujisan Scenic Cable Car both ways, many choose to walk one way. Mount Tenjo has well-maintained walking paths, making it a great option for a hiking trip.
Highlights
The cable car cabin offers a panoramic view of Lake Kawaguchi and the surrounding natural beauty. From the newly renovated observation deck, you can enjoy a full view of Mount Fuji. There are maintained trails available for hiking, allowing you to choose between ascending or descending. Discount combination tickets for the cable car, sightseeing boats, and tour buses are also available for purchase.
