    Fuji Panorama Ropeway, located on the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, is a ropeway that climbs from Kawaguchiko Station to Fujimidai Station, where you can gradually get a panoramic view of Lake Kawaguchi as the ropeway ascends in a three-minute aerial walk.
    From the 1075 m-high observation platform, you can see the magnificent Mt Fuji and beautiful Lake Kawaguchi spreading out from the plain, and on a fine day you can even see as far as the Southern Alps (Mt Akaishi and Mt Arakawa).
    From mid to late April every year, cherry blossoms bloom along the lakeside and at the observatory, umbrella and vine clouds can be seen on Mt Fuji during the summer, autumn is the season of autumn colours, with beautifully coloured red and yellow leaves, and in winter the air is clear and clear, allowing you to enjoy Mt Fuji in winter up close.
    Tenjozan is also known as the setting of Osamu Dazai's 'Otogi-zoshi/Kachikachiyama', so you will be greeted at the ropeway entrance, on the gondola and around the observation deck by the 'raccoon dog and rabbit' objects associated with the setting of 'Kachikachiyama'.
    There are many objects that children will enjoy and a variety of photo spots.
