Visiting Mt Shirane on 6/9/2010 2010/8/19 11:52
Is it a good day to visit Mt Shirane (going from Kusatsuonsen)? What will the wether be like ?

Can you walk around and get close to the crater on foot ?

Is 2 and a half hours sufficient for the visit and walk around ?

I hope you are not entirely serious.

Is it a good day to visit Mt Shirane (going from Kusatsuonsen)? What will the wether be like ?

The weather cannot be accurately forecast for more than a couple of days. In mid September, the area generally sees about 40% sunny days on which visibility is usually quite good and about 50% rainy days on which there is a higher risk of bad visibility.

Can you walk around and get close to the crater on foot ?

You cannot walk around. And you cannot walk just next to it. There is a distance between the tourists and the crater lake.

Is 2 and a half hours sufficient for the visit and walk around ?

More than enough. You only need around 30-60 minutes for seeing the crater lake only. That does not include the bus ride there and back.
