Three of the Fuji Five Lakes, Kawaguchi, Sai and Shoji, lie within it, and Lake Motosu is shared with neighbouring Minobu. The town was created on 15 November 2003 when the town of Kawaguchiko and the villages of Katsuyama and Ashiwada merged, and it absorbed most of the village of Kamikuishiki on 1 March 2006. An estimate for 1 June 2019 gave a population of 26,542 in 10,618 households over 158.40 square kilometres. It has a humid continental climate with an average annual temperature of 10.3 degrees Celsius. The Fujikyuko Line railway serves the town, a private medical school, the Health Science University, is located here, and in May 2024 the town put up a barrier to block a popular view of Mount Fuji after crowding by tourists.
