What is Fujiten Snow Resort?
Fujiten Snow Resort is a ski resort located at the first station of Mount Fuji.
You can enjoy winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding with the majestic Mt. Fuji in the background, and even if you don't ski or snowboard, you can take the "Mt. Fuji Observation Lift" (only available on weekdays) and view the majestic Mt. Fuji from the "Mt. Fuji Observation Deck."
Another popular activity among foreign tourists is sledding, which is a casual way to enjoy playing in the snow. There is a slope designed specifically for sledding, so you can enjoy sledding without worrying about the people around you.
This is a must-visit tourist spot for those sightseeing around Lake Kawaguchiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, in the winter!

It takes about 2 hours by train from Tokyo (Shinjuku) to Kawaguchiko Sta., and about 90 minutes by express bus. The express bus seems to be a little faster, but there is a risk of traffic jams, so if you have time, please use the express bus!
