Jukkokutoge Cable Car is a 316-meter cable car that takes you up to Jukkokutoge summit. On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji.

This cable car is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. On a clear day, you can see not only Mount Fuji but also parts of Yamanashi Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, and even Numazu in Shizuoka Prefecture.

At the observation area, there is a café where you can buy sweets and drinks, including a Mount Fuji Latte for ¥600 and churros for ¥500. At the base of the cable car, there is a large souvenir shop and food court.
