Good afternoon!
I am going to be a couple of weeks in Japan for business trip. I should have finished my duties for 3rd of June and I was thinking about climbing the Mt Fuji on 4th (coming from Hamamatsu) or on 6th of June (coming from Kioto).
I have been checking in internet and realized that during june there are not daily public transportation to the any 5th station from Kioto or Hamamatsu.
I can not schedule the travel for the weekend, and the idea I had it is to try to go up and down in the same day. I understand that the most of the people sleep at least 1 night, but I quite short of time and two days, it should be too much. Anyway, I have climbed several over 3,000 mts mountains and I am running 2- 3 times a week lately... So, it should be manageable. Always having respect to the mountain, and if it is necessary, I would stop and come back whenever I felt so.
Could anyone advise about transportation to the 5th station? And it is realistic to think about up/down in the very same day?
Thank you very much in advance for your kind reply,
Cs_edu

REMARKS: I did not mentioned before, but any companion would be more than welcome

Hi there,

seems like I am not able to find the most effective way (cost vs. time) to get to Mt. Fuji RAILWAY station - could anybody point me into the right direction? Gekko-ju station would also do...

Thanks!

Hi Jude. If I have a chance to visit there I'll check information about the gemstone. In the meantime in the 2nd photo I can read that the major places of its origin are Brazil and Madagascar. A quick google search lead me to this Madagascar gemstone site. http://www.minertown.com/market/crystals/madagascar/index.htm Hope it helps.

Help please? On a recent trip to Japan I visited the Yamanashi Gem Museum at Lake Kawaguchiko (http://www.gemmuseum.jp/english/). I fell in love with a gemstone in a pendant in one of the museum display cases (not in the shop). It was simply labelled Rock Crystal but I would like to know its exact name and place of origin. If anyone is going to the museum would they please seek this information for me. I have not been able to find an email address for the Gem Museum and they did not seem to speak much English when I was there. See photos attached. You can reply to me via this post. Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Please let me know how it goes, I lost some gear on the way here and need to pick up some more, and I want to know what kind of weather and temperatures I can expect. Are you day hiking? I had planned on the overnight hike.

Hi djmar, unfortunately I can't go on the 17th-19th because I have work. It's a long weekend though, so I could go Sunday night (16th). The weather report says it will be nice Friday night (14th) - could you go then?

I agree with you - I'd rather go with someone than by myself. Hopefully we can work some thing out.
