Kawaguchiko - motorbike rental

Hi, we plan to stay 2 nights in Kawaguchiko.

1 day for sightseeing and 2nd day for Mt.Fuji Summit.

I have couple of questions

1. Can anyone recommend scooter/motorbike rental company in Kawaguchiko area?

2. What is the best way how to get to Kawaguchiko from Tokyo. We have JR pass, therefore I would appreciate any tips. In Tokyo we stay in Shinjuku area

3. What is the weather in may on Mt.Fuji? Is it possible to reach the summit? Do we need any special equipment (except of hiking shoes and appropriate outerweare?

Thank you in advance...

To get to lake kawaguchiko, I used a highway bus. It cost around 1700 yen. If I remember right, they don't have any major railway going there (but could be wrong)

Take the JR limited express train from Shinjuku to Otsuki and change to the Fujikyu Railway to Kawaguchiko. The Fujikyu Railway is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass, but it is covered by the JR Kanto Area Pass. More details:

What is the weather in may on Mt.Fuji?

Around Kawaguchiko, daytime high temperatures are around 20 degrees. Nighttime lows around 8 degrees. Percentage of sunny days around 50% (gradually decreasing from 60% in the beginning to 45% in the end of month). Rainy days around 30%.

At the summit, there is still a lot of snow and ice. Daytime highs are around -1 degree. Nighttime lows around -7 degrees. Strong winds often make it feel much colder. Climbing to the summit of Mount Fuji is only possible if you are a well experienced and equipped snow mountain climber.

Thanks for reply.

And any tips for motorbike rental?
