Japan 's Mount Fuji remains without snow, marking the latest time in the year that the mountain has been without it in 130 years, according to the country's weather agency.

"Temperatures were high this summer, and these high temperatures continued into September, deterring cold air which brings snow," Mr Katsuta told AFP.)
