Hi, sorry to gate-crash your forum. I'm a visiting cyclist spent last three weeks pedalling over Japan.
I am after two bits of advice,
First: is it easy/possible to obtain a free cardboard box from any Tokyo bike shops to transport the bike back home on plane? If so, can any one recommend any shops? I'm heading to Tokyo 13th and leaving next day (staying near Asakusa train station).
Also, as final pedal-want to head to 5th station on Fuji-is it true the south is best regards view/highest ? Are roads all still open? (I've full gear so can descend in cold but not keen if icy). Plus I also read anti-clockwise also ideal to travel around base?-I'm heading from Fujinomiya station to Kawaguchiko station area).
Any advice greatly appreciated...... Thanks
Looking to head to Fuji area tomorrow and climb to 5th Tuesday.
