Key is to be prepared. If not, it is an unpleasant/expensive experience.
Too many variables to give a definitive answer. During this time, temps are between 0-10 degrees celcius up top. With wind chill can push into the minus. At the 5th station you may start off in a t-shirt and shorts but the higher you go, the cooler it will definitely become. At night, well you can appreciate it being a lot cooler than when the sun is out.
You will be lucky if you get a clear day and or it's not raining during Sept. Really, it's a hit or a miss if you have only a small window of time during your schedule.
As i write this, today conditions on Fuji look like pea soup.
