"Mount Fuji is arguably one of the most
well-known attractions in Japan, both internationally and domestically.
Nothing can be more frustrating than to plan a trip to see 富士山 (Fujisan –
as it is called locally) only to be thwarted by clouds and low
visibility" - Tokyo From The Inside
Yeah, still feeling shock from yesterday's weather where it's totally different from what I've expected in SUMMER. Instead of blazing sunny weather, we've got dark clouds and rain instead. We didn't really sleep right away last night, but we were browsing for tomorrow's weather forecast in Mount Fuji here and there. All of the weather sites simply said "Cloudy and Raining" with percentage range from 40-60% but there was only this one site which said it's percentage is 20%.
Since the weather for the next days until July 6 will be more likely have a chance of raining (percentage above 70%), we didn't swap our schedule and still went as planned. From all of our itinerary, there are only 2 days which absolutely need sunny weather since most of the sightseeing spots are outdoor and the transportation fee to go there are undoubtedly the most expensive ones compared to other days. Yep, so we bet our luck on that one website's percentage .....
