How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport (FSZ/RJNS) the live call is landing and departure 30 with METAR wind 250° @ 17 kt. 30 shows 12.6 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 11.4 kt crosswind from the left. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every RJNS threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
