Stop 1

The Observatory, located at an altitude of 1,075 metres, offers a panoramic view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. If the weather is good, you can even see the Southern Alps. On top of the mountain, there is a bell tower called "The Bell of Heaven". It is said that as long as you ring it, your wishes will come true.
Inspired by the story of Osamu Dazai, the gondolas and observation decks of the cable car are decorated with tanuki and bunny dolls, and anyone is welcome to check in and take photos. The cable car at the top of Mt. Amagami and Mt. Kachikachi takes about 3 minutes to reach the observation deck at an altitude of 1,075 metres, where you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi..
