Actually I knew the road is only till 2400m :wink: My plan was to ride up to 2400m and then hike up to the summit (about 3800m). I have a craze for high altitudes :D The temperature at the summit was -1 or -2 deg C while at the base, it's like 35 deg C and it's so humid in Japan! That's why people ...

Hello guys, Sorry for the late reply. I went to Mt. Fuji last weekend. Took my VTR till about 2400m (After that, no road :lol: ). There was no problem whatsoever!
