I have almost my own tradition, every year climb mt. Fuji. This time it was the 6th. I don't do it alone, as Fuji itself is actually boring, so I found one guy on Internet. This time I decided to use simplest route from Subaru line gogome (go-gome is 5th station)
But I could not do it as planned, it became too crowded, probably because of UNESCO. Usually I could easily buy ticket for bus going directly to Subaru line gogome just 1 hour before departing, but this time next available bus was after 4 hours, also we were warned about traffic problems. So we just took train, it's actually more expensive and slower than bus.
But happened something very unusual for Japan, trains on the line we needed delayed for more than 40 min.
Somehow we got to Kawaguchiko line, our last transfer. The car was full of children paintings of mt. Fuji.
