Fujikyu Railway Line

Traveler highlights

The Fujikyu Line consists of the Otsuki Line and Kawaguchiko Line. It runs from Otsuki via Fujisan Station to Kawaguchiko, linking Fujiyoshida and the Fuji Five Lakes area in eastern Yamanashi. The Otsuki Line is 23.6 kilometers long, while the Kawaguchiko Line runs 3 kilometers from Fujisan to Kawaguchiko; both are electrified single-track lines. Stations are all in Yamanashi, and services include local, rapid and several limited express trains. Some sightseeing trains require a reserved-seat ticket. Travelers from Tokyo can take JR to Otsuki and transfer to Fujikyu, then continue to Fujisan or Kawaguchiko. For a car-free trip around Mount Fuji, the line connects the main rail network with stations at the mountain’s foothills.
