But a snail on my book.
It's not going to get to the top. Closest i get to visitors is a big ol' spider outside my window. But climbing japan's tallest mountain is not something to undertake. As for mt fuji, in my experience indeed the best visibility is in winter, but you can be lucky to see it at any time of the year.
