#2024wish 20191228, 2pm Really nice view of Fuji-san. The trek up to the view spot was a nice small trek but be careful as there are no rails or side guards on the trail. Small kids and elderly who don’t have good balance could be a risk. Parking was very convenient and even if the parking lot is full, drive a bit more to see another parking lot on the left (saw this while walking to the waterfall). When you arrive, be cautious as the cable car sways back and forth. Not a big issue but it is something to notice when exiting the car. Even on a cold day, we enjoyed the (blueberry?) soft ice cream while waiting for the cable car back down. Very tasty! The gondola/mountain lift/ cable car is having limited capacity of ~30 folks and every twenty minutes - it’s a nice place to visit and glimpse view Fuji-San and do small treks on the top….The golden koi fish pond in the starting station and the restaurant with soft serve on the top are nice. I wish to go back here in 2024
