Fuji Ropeway, HotPot & Lake Walk

In this video we go up Mt Tenjo on the Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway, walk round parts of Lake Kawaguchi and eat Houtou-men (a local Yamanashi hotpot dish of soup, noodles and vegetables cooked at the table) at Restaurant Lakeside in Kawaguchiko ¥1500 each. The Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway ascends 400 meters from the eastern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko to an observation deck near the peak of Mount Tenjo. From the observation deck, which sits more than 1000 meters above sea level, there are panoramic views of the lake below and of Mount Fuji. The cost is ¥500 each way or ¥900 retuen. We went up only and walked down as there is a hiking trail from the observation deck down the forested mountain slope which takes about 30 minutes to descend. A different trail leads from the observation point 300 meters uphill to a small shrine at the summit of Mount Tenjo, from there the trail continues on to Mount Mitsutoge, a popular day hike with good views of Mount Fuji.
