I don't know any more than that.
I know some people who have done it in summer and it is not that easy then. So I would say forget it and try another mountain that is climable in september.
I'll try to find out for sure. I'll post later. |
There are lots of other mountains to climb... you can climb the mountain on Miyajima Island in about 90 minutes or so instead of the gondola. It wasn't a very easy climb for me, but I was out of shape. Or you can hike to the top of Koya-san instead of taking the cable car. Plus you'll be hiking in the Japan Alps, walking through temples, castles, and all over the place... your feet might be very tired by the end of the trip, you might be glad to skip an arduous climb up Fuji in off-season!
