Yoshida Trail

TAISHIKAN MOUNTAIN HUT

3,100M / 10,170FT

Taishikan is located at 3,100 meters at the 8th Station on the Yoshida Trail. This mountain hut is located at around the halfway point between the Subaru Line 5th Station and the summit, marking the first of multiple 8th stations. 
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.

Hut Etiquette

Huts on Mt.Fuji are a unique cultural experience. Here are a few tips for a smooth trip.

Arrival

Arrive not later than 6pm.  It is recommended to leave Subaru Line 5th Station between 10am and noon.

Taishikan Hut Rules

  • ​No alcohol is permitted inside Taishikan nor is any alcohol sold at this mountain hut. 

Facilities

  • Western style toilets.
  • Dinner is served inside a large room with tables and benches for 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.

Sleeping Quarters

  • Futon with sleeping bags and pillows are provided by the mountain hut.
  • Most sleeping quarters have bunk beds that are two to three levels, each fitting 20-30 people per level.
  • 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!
