History
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.
On 15 November 2003, the town of Kawaguchiko, and the villages of Katsuyama and Ashiwada merged to form the new town of Fujikawaguchiko. On 1 March 2006, Fujikawaguchiko absorbed parts of the village of Kamikuishiki, from Nishiyatsushiro District.
