Fuji Goko Kisen, a member of the Fujikyu Group, will launch a brand-new water access route called the “Oishi Park Line” on Lake Kawaguchiko starting Friday, July 17, 2026. Directly connecting the highly popular Oishi Park with Funatsu Pier, this new route not only offers a refreshing sightseeing experience with stunning views of Mt. Fuji from the water, but also serves as an innovative solution to reduce local bus congestion during peak travel seasons. Get ready for a seamless new style of Lake Kawaguchiko sightseeing where the journey itself is part of the breathtaking adventure!

Enjoy Mt. Fuji Views While Beating the Crowds on the New “Oishi Park Line”

Situated right on the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko, Oishi Park is an incredibly popular destination for both domestic and international travelers, famous for its magnificent vistas combining Mt. Fuji with seasonal flowers like lavender and kochia. However, bus congestion during peak tourist seasons has long been a challenge for visitors.
The newly launched “Oishi Park Line” is a direct shuttle service connecting Funatsu Pier and Oishi Park, utilizing the existing sightseeing boat, *Ensoleillé*. On clear days, passengers can soak in panoramic views of Mt. Fuji right from the lake, turning standard transportation into an exciting sightseeing experience. Since the traditional pleasure boat *Appare* will continue its usual operations, visitors can easily choose the option that fits their style—whether they want a relaxing scenic cruise around the lake or a direct, time-saving trip to their destination.

Great-Value Combo Tickets with the Ropeway are Here!

To celebrate the launch of the new route, a convenient new combination ticket, the “Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway & Oishi Park Shuttle Set,” will be available to help you explore the Kawaguchiko area efficiently.
This ticket includes a round-trip ride on the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and a round-trip ferry ride on the Oishi Park Line. It is priced at 2,500 yen for adults and 1,250 yen for children. Perfect for anyone wanting to fully experience the charm of Lake Kawaguchiko, it allows you to enjoy the spectacular views from the mountain peak and a scenic cruise on the lake all in one go.
Additionally, existing combo tickets will be revamped with new names and options, including the “Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway & Cruise Set”*(formerly the V Coupon) and the “Lake Kawaguchiko Sightseeing Pass” (formerly the R Coupon). Choosing the right ticket for your travel goals will ensure an even smoother and more wallet-friendly trip.
The “Oishi Park Line,” Lake Kawaguchiko’s new access route, is a wonderful “two-birds-with-one-stone” option that lets you avoid traffic jams while enjoying exclusive views of Mt. Fuji from the water. This summer, why not experience a whole new way of sightseeing in Kawaguchiko while feeling the refreshing breeze out on the lake?
