Am climbing Mount Fuji overnight tomorrow.need an earlier return bus time to Tokyo than 11am.how do i find 1?

Question

Hi, I hope someone can answer this fast! So I and 2 friends are planning to climb Mount Fuji in Japan overnight tomorrow so we are at the top of the mountain for the sunrise early on Tuesday morning. We will get back down to the bottom at about 8 or 9am but the first bus back to Tokyo, with the only bus company we know of, isn't until 11am..and we dont want to wait that long as we have other engagements on Tuesday afternoon.

So if anyone knows of an alternative bus company which offers an earlier return bus from Mount Fuji to Tokyo than 11am, please please get in touch, fast! Thanks!

Answer 1

what time is sunrise??? can't be b4 5am surely. It only takes 4 hours to descend!!!

anyway i'm sure you can wait 2 hours for a bus at the bottom, just spend longer on the summit for heavens sake. Stop being all speedy like japenese people are.

Answer 2

Probably too late, but FYI for others.  I just climbed using the Kawaguchiko route.  There are buses leaving kawaguchiko 5th station every 30 minutes.  These busses go to Kawaguchiko eki.  From Kawaguchiko eki you can take the Chuo Highway bus non stop to Shinjuku.  In our case we took the JR Fujikyu line to Otsuki eki and then transferred to JR Chuo line.  We to a rapid train at Hachioji to a rapid train and then got off at Shinjuku.

Answer 3

This is RAIL section, no BUS.
