The Fujikyuko Line is the Japanese private railway’s (The Fujikyu Railway) line linking the JR East Ōtsuki station on the Chūō Main Line with Kawaguchiko station, close to the foot of Mt Fuji.

The line rises 500-metre (1,640 ft) over its 26.6-kilometre (16.5 mi) length.There are a total of 18 stations on the route, including a reversal at the third to last, the aptly named Mt. Fuji station.

This video covers most of the journey between Ōtsuki and Mt. Fuji stations, captured through the front windscreen of 6000 series unit 6702. This set was decorated for manga series Naruto – Boruto.

Each of the station has a sign representing a character from “Thomas The Tank Engine”, as “Thomas Land” is at the theme park, one station on from Mt Fuji; Fujikyu-Highland.
