I will be backpacking with an osprey farpoint so am wondering how many warm pieces of clothing I should pack for the climb.
Ive never been to Japan so might be being too optimistic but i want to do as much as possible. Any advice or criticism welcomed!

For Fuji definitely wear water proof clothes (not water resistant… learn from my mistakes haha) and I would personally wear some very warm layers.
I bullet climbed it at night (like 8:00pm-3:00/4:00am), but I was freezing! It was 5 years ago, so I don’t completely remember what I wore, but it was not enough. Since you’re climbing in the day, you may not be as cold.
For the rest of your schedule, it’s a little crazy and super fast paced, but it’s doable if that’s your style!
