Kawaguchiko Sarumawashi Theater

The Kawaguchiko Monkey Theater is located next to the Kawaguchi Lake at the foot of Mount Fuji, bringing the audience a traditional Japanese art - monkey opera, which has been passed down from 1,000 years ago to the present. This large theater, which can accommodate more than 600 people at the same time, will hold 6 or 7 monkey opera performances every day. Cute and clever monkeys perform various unique tricks for tourists, standing on the ball, beating drums, and riding stilts in a blink of an eye. Children will find it interesting. There is a handshake session at the end of the show, where visitors can get up close and personal with the popular monkeys. The monkeys in the theater have been domesticated to be very gentle, so there is no need to be afraid, and children can shake hands with them with confidence. The north bank of Kawaguchi Lake, where the Monkey Theater is located, is a superb viewing point of Mount Fuji. When the weather is fine, you can see the magnificent view of Mount Fuji. There are also famous autumn leaves spots around the theater, and the autumn leaves festival is held every autumn. After watching the interesting performance at the monkey theater, you can enjoy the scenery of Mount Fuji leisurely near Lake Kawaguchi.
