Fuji-Q Highland
Last updated: August 25, 2026
Fuji-Q Highland lines up some of the world's most extreme roller coasters at the foot of Mount Fuji — Fujiyama, among the tallest and longest anywhere; Takabisha, whose 121-degree drop tips past vertical; and Eejanaika, a fourth-dimension coaster that spins its seats through every loop. What no other park can offer is the backdrop: Fuji fills the sky from every ride crest. Families are just as well served, with Thomas Land's themed rides, the Shining Flower Ferris wheel and the Eiffel Tower Carousel keeping the excitement at all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct highway buses run from Shinjuku, Tokyo and other city terminals to the park's gates in roughly two hours — the simplest way. By rail, take the JR Chuo Line to Otsuki and change to the Fuji Kyuko Line for Fujikyu Highland Station, which stands right beside the entrance and one stop short of Kawaguchiko.
The big coasters are the headline, but a full family day is built in: Thomas Land is a whole children's zone of themed rides, and gentler classics like the Shining Flower Ferris wheel and the Eiffel Tower Carousel come with the same Mount Fuji backdrop the coasters climb into.
Clear mornings give the most reliable views, and the colder months keep the air sharpest — on a bright winter day the mountain feels close enough to touch from the top of Fujiyama. Summer haze can hide it by afternoon, so ride the big views early.
