Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway

The cable car system rises 400 meters from Lake Kawaguchiko's eastern shore to Mount Tenjo's observation deck, providing views of Mount Fuji and the surrounding lakes.

The Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway initiated operations in January 1959, with its formal inauguration taking place in July of the same year.

The cable cars feature designs based on the Kachi-Kachi-Yama folktale characters, including rabbits and tanuki, reflecting Japanese storytelling traditions.

Operating daily from 9:00 to 16:00 with extended hours until 17:00 on weekends, the ropeway offers departures every 5-10 minutes and costs 900 yen for round trips.

Visitors can participate in Kawarake throwing, an activity where clay discs representing dumplings are thrown through small rope rings at the observation deck.
