.
RainCoat:
Buy the RainCoat or Ponchos from the 100 Yen store. Trust me u this will be a life saver against the rain as well as the wind. better buy the TWO-PIECE version, it comes as a seperate pant and seperate jacket. They are made of simple plastic. They come in transparent or wierd blue, pink colors. Pick ur choice.
Tip: If u're anywhere near Nakano, then there's a 100Yen shop just outside the Nakano Broadway. The RainCoat is just behind the counter person, next to the umbrellas on the ground floor of the Nakano 100 Yen store.
HeadLamp:
Also available at the 100Yen store. These can be hung from anywhere. On the bag, cap, jacket etc. They also last the entire trip. U may want to buy spare batteries just in case.
Food/Drinks: U can pick em up from ur favorite store. I bought all my stuff from the nearby 7-11 store.
What to buy: .
Walking Sticks: This is a quintessential reqmnt. U can buy them at any of the 5th stations on Mt. Fuji.
Food/Drink: If in case u did not take enuf water or food stuff.. the 5th station is the last chance for u. Above that either its not available or its price is as high as your elevation on the mountain.
