Mt. Fuji is only open to hikers from 1 July to early September. As the altitude is high, it often

happens that the weather conditions are very much different between the point where you set off and the summit. Especially in the afternoon, the weather becomes quite unstable with quite a high possibility of thunder, and you are advised to draw up your plans so that you will be making your way down before the thunder starts.
