Kawaguchiko Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway & Sightseeing Day Tour

Tour Highlights

• Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway (Kachi Kachi Ropeway)
  Ascend Mount Tenjo by cable car from Lake Kawaguchiko. At the 1,075-meter-high observation deck, enjoy sweeping views of Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi, and the distant Southern Alps on clear days. Visit the “Heavenly Bell” at the summit, a romantic photo spot said to grant wishes.
• Oshino Hakkai
  Explore this serene natural site composed of eight crystal-clear spring ponds fed by the melted snow from Mt. Fuji, filtered through layers of lava. Designated as a national natural monument, it is one of the 100 Famous Waters and part of the “New 100 Views of Mt. Fuji.”
• Kawaguchiko Shikido Honpo
  Experience traditional Japanese culture with a local matcha (green tea) tasting session. After the tasting, step outside to take stunning photos of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi.
• Lawson Kawaguchiko Station Store
  Stop at this iconic convenience store, famous for its postcard-perfect backdrop of Mt. Fuji. A favorite spot for social media posts and travel photography.
• Optional Substitution: Kawaguchiko Samurai Ship
  If the ropeway is closed (e.g., during annual maintenance from December 10 to 20 or due to weather), the itinerary includes a ride on the Kawaguchiko Samurai sightseeing boat across Lake Kawaguchi. If this option is also unavailable, a refund for the ropeway ticket will be provided.
