The cable car connected to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1075 meters takes 3 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. From the observation deck on the top of the mountain, in addition to overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, you can also enjoy the superb view of Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps. It is also the stage of the famous Japanese writer Dazai Osamu's masterpiece "Kachi Kachi Mountain". In line with the content of the story, raccoon dogs and rabbit dolls are decorated in every corner of the cable car, the observation deck and other places, as if they are welcoming the guests. The Tanuki Chaya, which has the image of Mount Fuji branded in the observation deck, is very popular for its signature Tanuki glutinous rice balls.
Reviews from Real Guests:
Ssssssssss: When it comes to Kawaguchiko, many people will say that they must take the cable car in the Tiantianshan Park. To be honest, before taking the cable car, I still want to say that it is just a cable car. It should be similar to cat cable. In fact, it is much worse! Because we came just at the end of the maple leaf season, on the way to the mountain by cable car, we saw the Kawaguchiko Lake reflecting the colorful maple red, which is super beautiful and super good.
tomwong1: On board the cable car, you can see the beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji and Kawaguchiko Lake. If the weather is good, the thick fog of Mt. Fuji is dissipated, and the magnificent scenery is in front of you.

The Kawaguchiko cruise ship takes its name from the French meaning "sunny". The cruise ship is divided into three parts. The first floor is the passenger room, equipped with sofas and chairs, where you can relax; when the weather is fine, it is recommended to go to the second floor of the guest room, where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Fuji in 360 degrees. The ship is well-equipped, and passengers in wheelchairs can easily board the ship. It takes 20 minutes for the cruise ship to go around Lake Kawaguchi. If the weather is good, you can also enjoy the picturesque view of the twin reflections of Mount Fuji, which is also regarded as an auspicious sign by the locals.
Reviews from Real Guests:
Ssssssssss: A bit luxurious Kawaguchiko cruise. It is a 20-minute small tour. The Kawaguchiko town overlooking the lake, the magnificent mountains, can be said to transform the impression of the entire Yamanashi Prefecture 360 degrees. "Ensoleille" means "good light!" in French! I heard that it was imagined by a resort in southern France. The deck on the 2nd floor is a good place to recommend when the weather is good.
Trip.com User: Come to Kawaguchiko really ㄧ Be sure to take a cruise ship, 360 degrees to visit the lake, it is really beautiful.
