The climb with Iris the previous month had been a real wash out and I had been wanting to go back again. After checking the weather forecast a few days earlier I decided I would go. On Saturday morning I got my pack together and headed for Shinjuku station and went to find out if I could get a ticket for one of the buses. All the tickets were unfortunately sold out so for the very first time I headed for Kawaguchiko by train.
The journey is not so difficult although it adds extra time. From Shinjuku you head out west towards Otsuki. At Otsuki you change to what I now often describe as the "choo choo" train, on the Fujikyu Line. It's not really a "choo choo" train but it's kind of old fashioned and passed through beautiful countryside stopping at some real cute little stations.
