About Mt.Fuji Panoramic Ropeway
Mt. Fuji World Heritage

In the early Heian period, “Asama Shrine” was built to quell the eruption of Mt. Fuji at the foot of the mountain, a culture of belief in Mt. Fuji began.
In the Muromachi era, Fuji faith called “Fuji lecture” was born, and it seems that Mt. Fuji was climbed for many people to visit in the Edo era peak.
Story behind Ropeway
It is here in Tenjoyama that is said to be the stage of this old tale.
The exchange of scenes in which a rabbit ignites a firewood carried by a raccoon dog is famous, isn’t it?
“Doesn’t it make a clicking sound somewhere?” Said Tanuki.
“That’s the ticking bird on the ticking mountain,” said the rabbit.
It is said that the raccoon dog with a fire on its back ran down while yelling “there” on the cliff seen below the ropeway, and the raccoon dog on the mud boat sank in Lake Kawaguchiko.
Even so, the old tale “Kachikachiyama” … It’s a bit cruel story, isn’t it?
Ropeway and Osamu Dazai
Although masochistic, it announced a lot of works accusing human hypocrisy with an exquisite speech mouth, and after the war it played a role as a jockey of literary faction.
The main work has “Running Meros”, “Human disqualification”, “Taiyo”, “Sakuramo”.
In 1938, when he was 29 years old, Osamu Dazai stayed in the Tencha tea house of Misaka Toge, Fujikawaguchikocho, invited by Inoubu Kousuji (1898-1993) who looked up to be a teacher to heal mental and physical fatigue.
Based on the experiences of this time, “Fu Takigake”, a novel “Ticking Mountain” (recorded “Otogarezo”) is written.
How Ropeway Works
The ropeway uses a thick rope (rope) called “support” for railroad tracks, with a thin rope called “trunk” (escape) and “balanced rope” (gaiko) It is a “crossover” ropeway that moves up and down.
On the other hand, lifts and gondola lifts found at ski resorts adopt a method called “circulation formula”.
