Is it OK to climb Mt. Fuji via the Yoshida trail on September 30, 2021?

Dear Gary,

Thank you for your website, which is very useful. I just read your latest post about climbing mount Fuji:

"GAME OVER!! The Yoshida trail has now been closed for the winter from Izumigataki (a short walk from the Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station) to the Mt. Fuji summit."

Would you know by any chance the reason why authorities closed the Yoshida trail? Could it be because the weather conditions are already so bad? Would you know if the other trails are still open?

I was planning to climb Fuji via the Yoshida trail on September 30th.

Thank you and best regards,
Adrien
