Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park Mt. Kachi Kachi Ropeway Guide
Soaring Views of Fuji: Ride the Kachi Kachi Ropeway! Guide
Ascend to breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko with a ride on the Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park Mt. Kachi Kachi Ropeway. This scenic ropeway whisks you up to the summit of Mt. Tenjo, where you'll be rewarded with stunning vistas of the iconic volcano, the surrounding landscape, and the charming town below. It's a must-do for anyone visiting the Kawaguchiko area. The name "Kachi Kachi Yama" comes from a local folktale about a rabbit who avenges himself on a mischievous tanuki (raccoon dog). The park features statues and decorations inspired by the story, adding a touch of whimsy to the experience. While the ropeway itself is relatively modern, the legend adds a layer of cultural significance to the location. Once at the summit, you can explore the observation deck, take memorable photos with Mount Fuji as your backdrop, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. There are also walking trails that lead to other viewpoints and attractions in the park. You can purchase dango (sweet rice dumplings) at the summit, a popular snack to enjoy while taking in the scenery. The park also offers a small cafe with light meals and drinks.
