Fujikawaguchiko (富士河口湖町 Fujikawaguchiko-machi?) is a town in Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi, Japan. As of November 2015, the town had an estimated population of 25,742 and a population density of 162 persons per km2. The total area was 158.40 square kilometres (61.16 sq mi).
Fujikawaguchiko is located in southern Yamanashi Prefecture, in the foothills of Mount Fuji and shares Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, with neighboring Minobu.
Fujikawaguchiko features a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) that closely borders on an oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb).
The area around Lake Kawaguchi has been inhabited since at least the Jomon period. It was on the road connecting Kai Province with Suruga Province, and is mentioned in Heian period records, which also document an eruption of Mount Fuji in 864 AD. During the Edo period, all of Kai Province was tenryō territory under direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate. During the cadastral reform of the early Meiji period in July 1, 1889, the area came under the jurisdiction of Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture.
