I understand September is considered Typhoon season in the area. What can I expect in general? Am I looking at heavy rain throughout the day most of the month? Or is it similar to how the US considers hurricane season?
Also, I really want to see Mount Fuji - I understand this is hit or miss. Is Mid September a bad season to expect to see Fuji-san if I take the tour bus option from Tokyo?
Having this information will help me make an informed decision if I should stopover via Tokyo this year
Thanks!
I climbed Fuji at the very start of October years ago - a day or two after the official season closed. It was an incredibly beautiful warm and clear day. Was in tshirt and shorts all the way up to the final hut. Finished up to the top by sunrise with a sweatshirt.
My friend did it around the same time a year earlier and was rained on mercilessly the entire time and had no nice views.
clearly YMMV
