Latest updates at Fuji-Q Highland
As of this April 2021, Fuji Q Highland offers FREE admission. Back in 2019, we had to pay quite a steep admission cost (especially we are foreign tourists). Check their website https://www.fujiq.jp/ for changes in admission.
Introducing FUJIYAMA Tower
Fuji-Q Highland opened an observations deck where you can take photos of Mt. Fuji and you posing in front of it to your heart's content, in addition to two fun attractions. First, there will be a thrilling tube slide called "FUJIYAMA Slider" starting from the observation deck and spiraling down the central frame of the tower all the way to the bottom. Second, there will be a skywalk activity on the level below the deck, where you'll be attached to a harness and walk with unimpeded views of Mt. Fuji.
Fuji-Q is now a dog-friendly attraction!
Small and medium-sized dogs with a height of 50 cm or less can enter the park together if they are attached to a lead, and it is possible to ride with their dog at four Attractions such as a Ferris Wheel, Teacups, Water Ace, and Merry-Go-Round.
Fuji-Q’s dog admission fee, charging 900 yen (US$8), the same price as a child’s ticket, for canine admission. There is a discount if you’re bringing multiple animals, though, as additional dog tickets are just 450 yen each. Animals also need tickets for the individual rides, which are priced for them at 500 yen for the Ferris wheel and 400 yen for the remaining three attractions that are part of the Fuji-Q Wanland festivities (human guests have the option of an all-access pass or paying for individual attractions). Owners will also be required to carry a water bottle and baggies to clean up any markings or other digestive messes their pooches make during their time at the park.
Fuji-Q is now a No Smoking Zone.
As of 1st April 2020, Fuji-Q Highland is now a no smoking on site.
How to get there:
Fuji-Q Highland is adjacent to the Kawaguchiko Interchange on the Chuo Expressway. From the Tomei Expressway and Gotemba is about 5 minutes from the Fujiyoshida Interchange on the Higashifujigoko Road, and directly connected to Fuji-Q Highland 1 stop by train from Kawaguchiko Station on the Fujikyuko Line even if you don't have a car. It is located in the center of Mt. Fuji and Fuji Five Lakes sightseeing, and it is a very easy place to stop by.

Thank you for showing me Fuji-Q Highland it truly an amazing place to visit. FUJIYAMA Tower is not gonna be on my list tho. I'm just too scared of this kind of heights haha
ReplyDeleteYeah, I felt scared too!
DeleteWow! I can't wait to visit Fuji-Q Highland. Maybe after the pandemic? So nice! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emman! I got so many pending Japan-related blog post na ngayon ko lng na-process.
DeleteWhat beautiful theme park and it's amazing knowing that it's the safest. My kids would love to be here.
ReplyDeleteHope this pandemic will end na so that we can all enjoy our next Japan trip!
DeleteOh I love Fiji. It has one of the highest rollers coasters but I did not dare to try it
ReplyDeleteMy stepdaughters did, and oh boy, they are so brave.
DeleteAirbnb is the in thing nowadays. Whenever my friends travel on a budget, they always go for an airbnb accommodation. It is a lot cheaper and simple
ReplyDeleteThat's true! We haven't stayed in the hotel when we are in Japan. Airbnbs are a lot cooler and cheaper.
DeleteThat sounds like a great place to visit sometime and tons of interesting and fun areas to explore. Looks like you guys had a wonderful time there.
ReplyDeleteYes we did! I can't wait our international travel restrictions be over and explore Japan soon.
DeleteLove those views from the roller coaster! And to go this long with no accidents is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteThat is true! Whenever there's rain, they need to stop the operation of all rides, and have to checked them again for safety.
DeleteOh wow! How fun! The place looks amazing indeed! I will have this in my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteWonderful babe!
DeleteThis sounds like so much fun. However, when in Japan, I was too busy to explore the natural and historic places and had no time for leisure parks ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat was the plan, unfortunately we have kids who have no interest on nature, hahaha. Next time we will not bring the kids!
DeleteFuji-Q park seems like a fun place to spend a day. Japan is on my bucket list for a long time. Hopefully soon :)
ReplyDeleteSoon you will be able to explore Japan and create more travel contents.
DeleteWOW! This would be incredible to visit some day!
ReplyDeleteJapan is one of my dream country to visit soon!! Will definitely be on this site sometime soon!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous!
