THE FUJISAN HOTEL HUT 

3,400M / 11,154FT

Fujisan Hotel is located at 3,400 meters at the Original 8th Station on the Yoshida Trail. This mountain hut is located just over an hour from the summit of Mt. Fuji and marks the final crux on the trail to Japan's highest point. If you reach this hut via the Subashiri Trail, additional benefits are available at the Subashiri trailhead with Fuji Mountain Guides. 
Mountain huts on Mt. Fuji were originally built as emergency shelters and exist to this day as shelters from harsh mountain conditions. All huts offer simple dorm style accommodation. During peak season, expect minimum space and privacy. It is common to be sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder with other guests. Because the mission of the huts is to provide safety and shelter to as many hikers as possible, it is not possible to pay for extra space. The huts provide the essential shelter and food you need to reach Mt. Fuji's summit.
