Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway

The Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway is such a fun and scenic experience! The cable car ride takes you up to a viewpoint where, on a clear day, you get an incredible view of Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, it was super cloudy when I visited, so we didn’t get to see Fuji in all its glory but that’s just how Mother Nature works sometimes! At the top, there’s a small food and ice cream stand. I totally recommend grabbing some ice cream, especially if you’re visiting in June when it’s starting to get hot. There’s also a swing you can ride for a small fee (I believe it was around 500 yen) a fun little bonus if you're into unique photo ops. If you keep walking past the main viewing area, there’s a higher spot that gives you even better views and more photo opportunities. Just be careful it gets pretty steep and hilly, and if you’re not paying attention, it’s easy to slip or lose your footing. Overall, even though I didn’t get the perfect view of Mount Fuji, the experience was still really cute and enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit!

The views from the top were very beautiful, and it was worth coming to this place. We immediately bought a ticket for the cable car and for a boat ride on the lake, and we enjoyed both activities. The only downside was that the cable car cabins were old and creaked, which was scary, and too many people were loaded into one cabin.

Very nice view of Mt. Fuji here. You ride a cable car up and down (if you wish or you can hike or go one way). The system of riding is orderly and the props in the park are nice as foreground for a Mt. Fuji photo as background. Highly recommended visit if you are in the Lake Kawaguchi area.

This is great way to see Mount Fuji, if it's visible. If it's not, then it's a fun local activity to do, which has amazing views across the area. You can buy a round trip ticket at the bottom of the ropeway, then queue to go up the hill. I queued maximum 10mins. The views at the top are spectacular. The whole experience can take 30mins or longer if you really wanted to take your time.

Very popular attraction I joined the queue at 9am and takes 20mins to reach the boarding point. Able to have a panoramic view area of the lake and mt Fuji although Mt Fuji peak is already covered with clouds by that timing. There are also shops selling souvenirs and food at the top. Nice view but prepare for long queue for the swing and almost everything on top.
