Local trains, which stop at all stations, run about every 30 minute-intervals. In addition, Fujisan-Tokkyu
(Mount-Fuji express) is operated. The line is mountainous, climbing from Otsuki (358 metres above sea level)
to Kawaguchiko(857 metres above sea level): a 500-metre ascent over the 26.6 km route. In many places,
Mount Fuji can be seen from the train. The Fujikyuko Line is only railway service to access the northern side
of Mount Fuji and Fuji Five Lakes, part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. A few seasonal rapid trains run
on the weekend from Tokyo.
