The mountain reached the annual milestone on Oct. 5 last year, making this year's snowcap the latest to form since 1894, when the phenomenon was first recorded. The"first snowfall" on Fuji is defined as the point when all or part of the mountain is covered with snow or"white-looking solid precipitation", the office added, and can be viewed from its observatory for the first time after summer.
