tuckerg76 / Mount Fuji Guide

Anyone interested in climbing From Fuji-Yoshida shrine during 3rd week of July (19th-24th)

FORUM TOPIC tuckerg76

I'm planning a hike on Fuji from the Fuji Yoshida shrine some time in the 3rd week of July, is anyone interested? The Fuji Yoshida trail is about 20km long, but absolutely beautiful, and generally peaceful (not many hike the pre 5th station portion of the trail). My plan is to make it to the peak for sunrise!

Bus schedules and info for the Gotemba trail

FORUM TOPIC tuckerg76

I am planning to hike Mt Fuji on the 4th or 5th of Sept. I was interested in hiking the Gotemba trail. I was wondering about bus schedules for this trail in September. If anyone has any tips for hiking this route I'd love to hear them. Also, does anyone know if I can get a bus from Fukuoka to Gotemba?

hi,
this timetable (http://mountfujiguide.com/blog/4plus/182) is effective until Sept. 7, 2008.
Since Sept. 4 and 5 are not weekends, only the buses marked with A are available.

I think you can use a highway bus to come from Fukuoka to Gotemba although it's going to be a long way. You probably have to switch a highway bus in Osaka or Kyoto.
Here are some links that might be useful.

If you are a foreign tourist, it's probably cheaper and quicker to use Shinkansen Express train with JR Rail Pass.
