Subashiri Trail

THE MIHARASHIKAN HUT 

3,200M / 10,498FT


​Miharashikan is located at 3,200 meters and at the 7th Station on the Subashiri Trail. This mountain hut is located just above the halfway point between the Subashiri 5th Station and the summit. It marks the second of two 7th Stations on the Subashiri Trail. The summit from Miharashikan is about 90-120 minutes without breaks.
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.
