Fujikyu Car Share Launch Event
On July 1, 2023, Fujikyu Railway Co., Ltd., Fujikyu Department Store Co., Ltd., and Times Mobility Co., Ltd. officially launched their new car-sharing service named 'Fujikyu Car Share.' This initiative represents a strategic partnership designed to improve transportation convenience in the Yamanashi region, particularly around Mount Fuji.

As part of this service, eight vehicles will be stationed across three locations, including Fujisan Station, Fujikyu Highland Station, and Kawaguchiko Station, allowing better mobility for locals and tourists alike.
