Loved it! This is a must visit if you come here to see Mt Fuji 🗻 The place is accessible via little cable cars. There's a couple view points, a giant swing with the mountain in front for pictures. Many hiking trails that go up and down the mountain, though some of them may or may not be open depending on the time of year or weather.

Taking the cable car up to Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park is absolutely required if you are visiting. The views were absolutely spectacular (we got very lucky on an extremely clear day). The ice cream shop at the top is a must do to just sit back and enjoy the views of Mt Fuji. Easily able to spend hours just marveling at the sheer size of this spectacular volcano

A "must stop" if you come to observe the Fujiyama to this lake. The queue can be a bit long depending when you come, but the views are absolutely worth it. The rail cars are great and well organised, on top you have food, souvenir shops, toilets, and many viewpoints where take photos.

When is the best time to visit Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park (Mount Fuji Area, Japan)?

In spring, cherry blossoms frame the summit deck. On clear winter days, see crisp reflections of Mt. Fuji in the lake. Summer mornings are cooler and less crowded.
