Day 11 Sun 13/4 Harajuku Sundays 鈥?shopping/ cosplayers

Day 12 Mon 14/4 2009 Last minute souvenir shopping. Leave Tokyo for Narita Airport by 4pm.

The 4 days in Kyoto will be mixed around (except for the flea markets on Sunday) once I have worked out how they should be grouped by general location, ease of travel etc.

I have 2 questions - we are trying to take advantage of make stops on our way to and from Kyoto, can Mt Fuji be done in an afternoon, and also, is it viable to go straight to Yamanouchi Town after Kyoto? Or does it make more sense to return to Tokyo and go from there. On the map it seems be do-able but I have not put made our itinerary go that way as it looks like it involves a lot of train changes.

Thanks for any advice... =)
