Trip to Nikko & Mt Fuji

Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question,
please post it. Thank you!

Trip to Nikko & Mt Fuji 2009/9/7
Am planning to go Nikko on 10th Nov this year and to Mt Fuji on 11th Nov.

Will I still get to see the nice koyo or autumn leaves if I go during these dates? Am worried as I read at the Japan Guide website that the best times to view koyo at Lake Chuzenji or Kegon Fall is Mid Oct. So wondering if I go on 10th Nov, whether these 2 places will be barren already?

Also if I go to Mt Fuji on 11th Nov, will the weather be ok for me to go to the 5th station? Some of my friends say that it will be too cold by then to go up.. But will I at least get to see the nice koyo at Lake Ashi?

Would be grateful if someone can let me know..tks very much..

It is too late for autumn colors in the Chuzenjiko area, but you might be able to see some colors around central Nikko. Here is a November 5 report of last year:

As for Mount Fuji, you should be fine to see autumn colors around the five lakes. Here is a report of November 12 of last year:
