Today and yesterday NHK (a Japanese public broadcaster) showed a TV program with live broadcast from the summit of Mount Fuji. I missed the today's show, but yesterday they were introducing a college professor who's conducting a research at the obsolete weather station.
The station was established at the summit of Mount Fuji in 1936, and it has been the center of Japan's meteorological observation until recently. As the technology of aerological observation and automatic observation have been improved, the station became unmanned in 2004.

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