Source Statue at Lake Kawaguchiko

Highlight • Monument

This bronze statue is one of last and finest masterpieces of Japan’s great sculptor, the late Seibo Kitamura. Kitamura visited Kawaguchiko at age of 101 and was deeply moved by magnificence of surrounding mountain scenery as well as the lake itself.This statue is product of the two long and laborious years Kitamura spent to give this feeling of wonder form.
The vase portion of the statue represents Lake Kawaguchiko, source of life in all things.As for two female figures dancing around the vase, woman on left represents “ positive” and woman on right represents “ negative”.the eternally varying drama of these two opposites comes together to become one in “source” flowing to on to symbolise the never ending occurrence and renewal of life.

Fuji Electric Railway Mo 1 Electric Train at Kawaguchiko Station

Highlight • Monument

Fuji Electric Railway Mo 1 Electric Train

Model: Mo 1
Document Number: 100910131259
Location: Inside the Kawaguchiko Station of the Fuji Kyuko Railway
Address: Kawaguchiko Town, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture
Year of Manufacture: 1929
Type: Mass-produced model
Manufacturer: Nippon Sharyo (Japanese Vehicle Manufacturing)
Surveyed by: The Railway Technical Research Institute / Railway Friends Society
Features:
The Mo 1 is a half-steel electric train, built specifically for the opening of the Fuji Electric Railway in 1929.
It was designed to handle steep gradients and was equipped with two pantographs and sandboxes to improve traction. It also featured multi-unit control for linked operations.
Although the train was modernized in the 1950s, the original body was transferred to the Ueda Maruko Electric Railway (now Ueda Kotsu) and used as a passenger car (Kuha 251), later renamed Moha 4257. To celebrate the railway's 60th anniversary, Fuji Kyuko bought back the train, restored it as the No. 1 car, and preserved it.
Exhibition Status: Not open to the public
Survey Date: September 23, 1999

This train is an important piece of history for the Fuji Electric Railway, representing the early development of rail transport in the Mount Fuji area and preserving the technological advancements of the time.

Unfortunately, we were a bit too optimistic about the rain, so we rode the second half completely soaked. We rented bikes from the hotel for ¥1200 for the whole day.
