At a Glance
The Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway is an aerial lift in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, that climbs Mount Tenjō from the shore of Lake Kawaguchi. The ride between its two stations takes about three minutes, in one of two cabins that each carry up to 36 passengers. At the top, the observatory looks out over the lake, the Aokigahara forest and Mount Fuji.
The line opened in 1959 and rises 219 meters over a cable length of 460 meters. It is also known as the Kachi-kachi Yama Ropeway, a name taken from a Dazai Osamu story set on Mount Tenjō, and rabbit and tanuki mascots from the tale decorate the stations and cabins. The present cabins date from 2015 and are styled on the palanquins once used by pilgrims to Mount Fuji.
