August 13th through 16th are called Obon holidays. Obon is traditionally a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of ancestors. Like Thanksgiving holidays in the United States, the historical meaning is being lost and many people simply consider it "summer vacation".

On July 19th Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) announced that the rainy season was over in Mount Fuji area. It's a day earlier than the average year, according to JMA.

The picture is a view of Mount Fuji from my company in Fuji, Shizuoka. The mountain is usually covered by clouds in summer, but today we can see most of the figure. This is a typical view of Mount Fuji in our daily life.

I would like to hike Fuji-san just after the official season ends. Is the official season always July 1-August 31?
