buses to fujinomiya in fuji

iLm planning to hike to mt.fuji next week. where can i catch a bus to the fujinomiya station? or which station would be the best from osaka? is there sense to climb both ways the same or should i come ascent and descent from different side of the mountain?

as there might be quite cold next week, would it be better to climb daytime? as i donLt mind the sun rise that much.

if thereLs some one else climbing same time, either 10th, 11th or 12th iLd like to join you!

Unfortunately I believe that the buses don't run in the off season. You'll probably have to take a taxi.

well thanks,

i would really appreciate if any one knows is there any buses going to any 5th station anymore? itLs very hard to find it fron japanese pages as iLm not that familiar with the kanjis...

Buses run from Kawaguchiko station to Fuji 5th station daily by November 4th and on Saturdays/holidays from November 5th to 30th .
9:40, 10:40 and 11:40
(50 min, 1500 yen)

Only the Kawaguchiko 5th Station is served by buses in the off-season. The timetable is provided by JLady.
