Subashiri Trail

THE SETOKAN HUT 

2,700M / 8,858FT

Hut reservations opening on May 17 at 9:00 am

Setokan is located at 2,700 meters and at the 6th Station on the Subashiri Trail. This hut is the second, and original, of two 6th Stations on the Subashiri Trail. From the Subashiri 5th station, it takes approximately 2 hours to reach Setokan and marks one third of the climb to Mt. Fuji's summit. Rather than depart Setokan in the middle of the night for a sunrise summit, many climbers choose to view the sunrise from the 6th station and journey on to the summit in daylight. This allows you to avoid the human traffic encountered at the summit in the early hours and enjoy a more relaxed and peaceful approach to summiting and descending Mt. Fuji. See photos below of the sunrise viewed from just outside Setokan! 

Regarding Mt. Fuji Mountain Huts

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. 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.

Sleeping Quarters

  • Futon with blankets and pillows are provided by the mountain hut.
  • The sleeping quarters have bunk beds with each level fitting 20-30 people.
  • Going to the bathroom can be a challenge involving stepping over other guests and climbing down the bunk bed ladders. Be careful!
  • From summer 2021 guests are now each afforded 1 tatami mat worth of space. This means it is no longer shoulder to shoulder sleeping conditions, however, there will still be multiple climbing parties sleeping in the same room. We recommend bringing ear plugs!

Facilities

  • Western style toilets.
  • Dinner is served inside a large tatami matted room, with low table seating.
  • Pack it in, pack it out. There are no trash cans. All personal trash must be packed out and disposed of off the mountain.​​
