Is there snow in Mount Fuji in September?

This year it was September 26th but in the 5 years prior it was mid to late October. So you may catch the peak with a dusting of snow but it's unlikely that you'll be able to see it fully snowcapped like in the dead of winter. The top of Mt. Fuji almost always has snow.
