Reviews from Real Guests:
Ssssssssss: When it comes to Kawaguchiko, many people will say that they must take the cable car in the Tiantianshan Park. To be honest, before taking the cable car, I still want to say that it is just a cable car. It should be similar to cat cable. In fact, it is much worse! Because we came just at the end of the maple leaf season, on the way to the mountain by cable car, we saw the Kawaguchiko Lake reflecting the colorful maple red, which is super beautiful and super good.
tomwong1: On board the cable car, you can see the beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji and Kawaguchiko Lake. If the weather is good, the thick fog of Mt. Fuji is dissipated, and the magnificent scenery is in front of you.

The West Lake Bat Cave is a larger-scale cave in the magma cave at the foot of Mount Fuji, with a depth of more than 350 meters. It was opened to the public in 2008. It is composed of magma erupted from Mt. Fuji. The ground and inner walls of the entire cave are rapidly cooled lava, forming many lava stalactites, lava domes, and lava sheds, which are designated as national natural monuments. The temperature in the cave is different from other caves. Summer is not very cool, winter is very warm, and the temperature is constant throughout the year, so many bats hibernate and roost here. The depths of the cave have been designated as a wild bat sanctuary, but there are steps, walkways and lights that allow you to embark on an adventure of your own in the cave. Also, be careful when entering as the cave is quite low and the walkways are slippery.
