Is it possible to climb Mt. Fuji in mid-June?

I will be in Japan during the second and third weeks of June 2017.

I live in the Pacific NW and have hiked glaciated peaks over 10,000 ft. Climbing at altitude or in snow isn't a problem for me. I also like the idea of climbing without 5000 other people.

However, I'm traveling alone and don't speak any Japanese. I'm torn between wanting to climb it just "because it is there" and I'm in Japan, or finding something else to do. The only reason for me to do it is because I like high places and it would be a cool feather in my cap.

From poking around your (excellent and informative!) site, I'm guessing your answer will be to do something else.

I'm really glad your site exists. 😀

Thank you!
