We will be sharing fascinating information about the northern foothills of Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, including Mt. Fuji itself — a symbol of Japan recognized and admired around the world — as well as the World Heritage sites associated with it. The Fuji Five Lakes region, located on the northern side of Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, is an area rich in natural beauty. It includes Lake Motosuko, Lake Shojiko, Lake Saiko, Lake Kawaguchiko, and Lake Yamanakako. The UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site "Fujisan, Sacred Place and Source of Artistic Inspiration" consists of various cultural assets, including historic shrines such as Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine, Kawaguchi Asama-jinja Shrine, and Fuji Omuro Sengen-jinja Shrine, as well as the natural monument Oshino Hakkai and other component sites extending into Shizuoka Prefecture. The foothills of Mt. Fuji, a popular tourist destination, offer attractions throughout all four seasons. In spring, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, and the five-story Chureito Pagoda at Arakurayama Sengen Park. During summer, Oishi Park serves as the main venue for the Kawaguchiko Herb Festival. In autumn, the Lake Kawaguchiko Momiji Corridor offers beautiful scenery featuring Mt. Fuji and vibrant autumn leaves. During winter, Fujiten Snow Resort provides skiing and snowboarding with spectacular views of Mt. Fuji. In recent years, activities such as trekking, cycling, and camping in the magnificent natural surroundings of Mt. Fuji have also become increasingly popular. Based around the Lake Kawaguchiko area in the northern foothills of Mt. Fuji, our company operates several attractions and facilities, including Fuji Subaru Land, a theme park surrounded by the natural beauty of Mt. Fuji; Fujizakura Heights Beer, an award-winning craft beer brewed using natural spring water from Mt.

What is Fujiten Resort?

Fujiten is a ski resort located on Mount Fuji , about a 90-minute drive from Tokyo and Kanagawa .

During the green season, from early May to late October, you can enjoy mountain biking, mountain carts, and various other activities.

During the winter season, this is a full-fledged ski resort where you can enjoy skiing and snowboarding with the majestic Fuji as a backdrop. There are seven courses suitable for beginners to advanced skiers, and a "snow park" with a Toyotomi variety of features. In "Chibikko Ai Land (For sleds & snow play area)," a dedicated area for playing in the snow and sledding, you can enjoy sledding to your heart's content without worrying about anyone else.

Fujiten Resort

① Mountain bike

Supervised by professional MTB rider Daiki Takahashi, the resort offers challenging courses that will satisfy even advanced riders, such as "Little Whisperer" with its series of big jumps. There are also courses suitable for beginners, such as "Grasshopper," which features a downhill grassy slope. A variety of rental bikes are available, making it easy for anyone to try it out.

② Mountain Cart

Mountain carts are three-wheeled carts operated using only a handle and brakes, making them an activity that can be enjoyed without any difficult knowledge or experience. Using the slope of the longest Dynamic Course (1,300m) within the Fujiten Course, which is used as a slope for beginners and intermediate skiers in winter, we will offer a new sensation of driving down a grassy course while experiencing the nature at the foot of Mount Fuji.

③ Green Sports

■ Pockar

This item resembles a mini-bike, featuring a seat, handlebars, and brakes mounted on three inline tires, allowing you to slide down slopes like a sled. It's easy for both children and adults to try.

■ Running bike

A pedal-less training bicycle specifically designed for young children. Also known as a "training bike," it's excellent for helping children develop the balance skills necessary for riding a bicycle. (Suitable for children aged 2 to early elementary school age)

■ Grass skiing

This sport involves sliding on grass using caterpillar-shaped boards. The basic operation is almost the same as regular skiing, but because the boards cannot slide sideways like in snow skiing, you can firmly grasp the fundamentals as you go.

■Mountainboard

Mountain board (without handlebars)

A summer version of snowboarding. It's popular for those who want to enjoy snowboarding in the summer using the side-on style (riding on the side), and is also used for training.

Mountain board (with handlebars)

Because it's a four-wheeled vehicle with a handlebar and brakes, it's easy for women and small children to ride.

(Young children must be accompanied by an adult.)
