Fujisan Station

Traveler highlights

Fujisan Station is in central Fujiyoshida at an elevation of 809 meters. It is where the Fujikyuko Otsuki and Kawaguchiko lines meet and a key hub for local commuting and visits around Mount Fuji. Originally called Fujiyoshida Station, it was renamed on the mountain’s opening day in 2011 to emphasize its role as a gateway to Fuji tourism. The Yoshida Trail begins in this area, linking the station with the mountain’s pilgrimage and climbing culture. From the station, walk into the Kamiyoshida Oshi district, once home to lodgings and send-off places for climbers, then continue to Kanadorii, Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine or the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center. It is a useful starting point for exploring the foothills’ history and streets between Kawaguchiko and Fujiyoshida.
