I've done this train in mid-September, days after the season. The weather was perfect and although we walked for most of the trail inside a cloud, the top was clear and crisp.
Buses run from Matsumoto starting 8:40 AM and the last one (only during September) is at 17:50. Leaving only 10 hours for the whole circuit.
The authorities really don't want tourists to climb off-season: They block paths and cover the signaling posts, but just keep going.
The way down has a tricky, misleading part BEWARE. We missed the turn and had to backtrack.
