Is it available to climb Mt Fuji in the middle of March? I'm experienced hiker. I'll come to visit my friend soon for her wedding and have just 2 weeks to stay in Japan. What would be the weather that time (average temperatures day/night , sunrise time)? Are there any open shelters along the trials? I read huts are closed out of peak season. Is the path marked in the snow? Thank you

Thank you for your advises. After reading all this I have decided to come to Japan another time again to safely enjoy my climb to the top of majestic Mt Fuji.

Mt. Fuji is possible in winter, but it is a serious Alpine climb requiring crampon and ice axe skills, navigation ability, and proper equipment for the extreme weather. There is risk to climbing it, but most of those risks can be managed by following common sense, climbing in good weather, carrying the proper gear, and having the proper training. I'm a mountaineering guide here in Japan and do bring people up Fuji in the winter. The first day we spend working on those winter climbing safety skills. If you are interested have a look. http://www.kantoadventures.com/winter-fuji-ascent.htmlAs everyone has warned it is a serious endeavor not to be taken lightly.

If you're still interested and will be there, I'll make an attempt on the 24th/25th of March. Let me know.
