What other travelers are saying about Fuji-Q Highland
If you love rollercoasters you cannot go past Fuji-Q Highland. This was our second time visiting the park after our first visit 10 years ago.
Fuji-Q Highland have some of the biggest and fastest rollercoasters in the world, but they are also the smoothest I've ever been on. Compared to Disney and Universal this place is incredibly affordable with a fraction of the wait times - no wait at all if you spring for a few priority passes. And with better rollercoasters than the other parks!
Fujiyama, Eejanaika and Takabisha are all incredible. Our only complaint was that Zokkon wasn't operating that day so we couldn't ride it. :(
We went on a Monday in early December which meant it was pretty quiet at the park, and views of Mt Fuji were incredible.
Cannot recommend this park highly enough!

You can take the JR Chuo Line to Otsuki Station from Shinjuku Station, then transfer to the Fuji Kyuko Line to reach Fuji-Q Highland Station. Alternatively, direct highway buses run from major cities like Tokyo and Shinjuku to Fuji-Q Highland. The journey takes approximately two hours.
There is free shuttle bus from Fujisan station and Fujisan station hotel to the park. The park is free to enter. You can either buy a day pass or pay per ride. An adult and student day pass from trip.com cost 11,000yen. Looking at the price, if you take 3-4 rides, it will be cheaper to take the day pass. The park is not as beautiful as Disney or Universal Studio types of theme parks, it’s more practical to serve the purpose. When in December, queue are not long, but waiting time still takes 30-60min. The Naruto village is quite small. All the restaurants and food stalls are open unlike other theme parks which tends to have some closed in Dec. There is vegan curry rice and vegan ramen at the Food Stadium. There are multiple Roller coaster rides and are very thrilling.
I took my daughter who loves roller coaster there. She had the absolute best time. One of the ride was in her opinion the best she had ever done.
I’m not a thrill seeker but I had a great time enjoying all the food around.
The entry is free and you can buy passes for few selected ride which again for me not being there for the thrill was so cool that I didn’t have to pay for nothing. Some line but nothing crazy. Super safe. Well managed. We had a fantastic time. I highly recommend
I came into this theme park only because I had a free day in Kawaguchiko and didnt know what else to do, oh boy I had NO IDEA what I had just signed myself up for. I love rollercoasters but these were something else entirely, I feel like this theme park is a bucketlist kind of location! I lined up for these not knowing they were record breaking coasters but man once they start YOU CAN TELL I was absolutely terrified but it was so fun at the same time, if youre a fan of thrills and adrenaline you CANNOT miss this place!! Not to mention all the staff made the experience a million times more enjoyable, they were all so energetic and fun! I didnt understand the cheers or references but it was fun to still try and join in when I could! There was also next to no line for any of the rides which absolutely shocked me, I never waited more than 15 minutes for anything in the park and for alot of things I walked straight on, I also walked straight into the park with no line aswell which only made the day so much better! Definitely add this to your Kawaguchiko itinerary, its even free entry so if you don't want to go on the rides you can still enjoy the food or just buy a single ticket for the ferris wheel to get an amazing view of the surrounding mountains! (or even mount fuji if youre lucky)
Even more fun than expected! We visited on a Thursday and felt like we had the park all to ourselves. There were some really unique roller coasters. We have visited theme parks around the world and this one seemed to have done uniquely designed rides. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the region.
