Message from Tony Xia
Kawaguchiko Station is a charming gateway to the famous Lake Kawaguchi area, nestled at the base of Mt. Fuji. This station serves as the terminus for the Fujikyuko Line and is a starting point for many who wish to explore the beautiful Fuji Five Lakes region.
One of the standout features of Kawaguchiko Station is its status as one of the most scenic stations in Japan. It offers a full, unobstructed view of the majestic Mt. Fuji directly from the platform and surrounding areas, making it a unique spot where travelers can pause and take in this iconic sight.
Around the station, you'll find a variety of great food options including Houtou, one of my favorite dish of Yamanashi.
