Fujikawaguchiko
I really want to go to Fujikawaguchiko. But is it even realistic or possible for someone in a wheelchair to go there? I seem to remember it being pretty hilly. All I want is to visit Fuji-Q Highland and then go up to Mt. Fuji 5th station. Maybe some other stuff too but those are the main things. It looks like you have to take buses to get anywhere – are the buses wheelchair accessible?

Would you be open to hiring a tour/taxi?
I don’t want to pay for a whole tour, if I don’t have to. I’d be okay with riding taxis. I guess I’m hoping I can ride public transportation and was curious is the buses are wheelchair accessible. Another option is I could fold up my wheelchair and come on but don’t know how crowded the buses get and if they would even allow that.
My understanding is that the buses for local routes are accessible (sorry, never been 💦). However, if you look up the routes you plan to take in Google, it will tell you the route name and bus operator. You could then go to their website and they’ll likely either have accessibility information or a contact information you can use.
Of course, you can always ask here! If you tell us specific destinations (ie station X to location Y) someone can help look it up.
Hi there, we were in Fujikawaguchiko last year. I am a manual wheel chair user (my husband is abled bodied). While we did not go onto Mt. Fuji itself (so I can’t comment on that), we did take a very nice walk on a (paved) path around the lake which offers beautiful views of Mt. Fuji. Hope that helps!
Hi,
was it a day trip or did you book a hotel? We are looking for a hotel that has in room
onsen in Fujikawaguchiko —- I may have spelled it wrong…
We had a hotel but it did not have onsen in th room.
It does help. I was hoping to be able to walk around the lake but wasn’t sure it was possible. Thank you!
We run a taxi business, and we frequently offer tours to Mt. Fuji.
Although I’m not too familiar with the local bus system in the Mt. Fuji area, I often see long queues at the bus stops.
According to an operator at the Fujikyu Bus company, the buses are equipped with ramps, so you can board with a wheelchair.
In the Mt. Fuji area, there are five beautiful lakes, and you could probably visit two or three in one day. The prettiest, in my opinion, is Lake Shoji, which is my personal favorite.
All of the lakes are accessible by wheelchair, but using the local bus might not be very convenient since the bus stops aren’t located everywhere.
For a hotel with an onsen, please check this one out. The onsen isn’t in your room, but you might find it interesting:
