When can I start booking Mt. Fuji mountain huts?

Hey Gary,

Thank you for a brilliant webpage with a lot of great information. ​​I'm travelling to Japan for the 3rd time this July and am hoping to climb Fuji for the first time on that trip.

I'm looking at booking a mountain hut on my stay, having looked at your list of huts, it seems like I can only book once the season begins? Is this correct?

I have been told that I need to book in advance, but seeing as I'm travelling in mid-July, it seems like that won't be very far in advance.

Cheers,
Henry
