Sorry to be a bother, but I planned on seeing Mt Fuji in late April/early May too |
Haze comes and goes, it depends on the wind and weather. The air is clearest during the winter months, most of the year it is hard to see the mountain from metro Tokyo.
Fuji's facilities are snack shops, toilets, and the mountaintop post office (where you can get a Mt Fuji postmarked letter or card sent home). There is still transportation available to some of the mountain stations, but not as much as in the summer months.
There will likely still be lots of snow on the mountain in April/May, so plan your climb with that in mind.
