Officially summer?

I never would have guessed....

The climbing season for Fuji should be late September through October.

@WA4TKG I highly recommend you don't try to climb to the top of Mt. Fuji. Very easy to fall and re-break your leg which might very well require a chopper rescue. Plus the dang thing could erupt again at any time.

Even after breaking both legs over twenty five years ago (ironically in Japan) maybe I can still manage to pull this off.

It means working, usually manual labour. Probably more commonly used in the UK & Antipodes

"grafting" = ?

Together with the route on the Yamanashi Prefecture side, open since July 1

It was also closed until this morning due to the same rockslide that closed the top of the Subashiri route (they share the same top section). Spare a thought for the workmen above 3450m who have been grafting their arses off for the past week or so in this awful weather
