>>101749102August 20 to the 31st. That will be nine days since I'm arriving at the night of the 20th. I managed to reserve a mountain hut at the 8th station on the 27th, so I'm tied down to hiking the mountain on the 27th and the 28th, no exception. Hell, 29th and the 30th are also budgeted as recovery days from doing something even more retarded.
>If you want to hike Fuji early, you can arrive the evening before,I have seriously considered this before if anything because of altitude adjustment (this is what I originally planned for the 26th). However, because I already planned the hike to be two days, I'm not entirely sure if I want to spend more money on booking a one night for the day before the hike or if I'm better off taking the 0645 bus from Shinjuku to the 5th station. That way I can just spend my money and recover at an onsen resort and reflect on my retarded choices for the next few days. I'm also organizing this shit as a family trip which makes things more expensive and more problematic
