Hatsu Kansetsu 【初冠雪：はつかんせつ】
The first snow to pile on the top of the mountain just after the summer is called Hatsu-Kansetsu in Japanese. In the old days, this was an index showing that winter is on its way.
In 2018, the first snow piling was observed on the 26th of September.
The local papers in Shizuoka reported that they have observed snow piling on top of Mount Fuji mid-June.
