Subashiri Trail

THE TAIYOKAN HUT 

3,090M / 9,842FT

Hut reservations opening on May 17 at 9:00 am

Taiyokan is located at 3,090 meters and is at the new 7th Station on the Subashiri Trail. This mountain hut is located just short of the halfway point between the Subashiri 5th Station and the summit of Mt. Fuji. It marks the first of two 7th Stations on the Subashiri Trail and is approximately a 3 hour climb to the summit. Consider viewing the stunning sunrise from just outside Taiyokan before continuing on your journey to Japan's highest peak!

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 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. Free of charge for staying guests
  • 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.

Breakfast
For guests attempting to watch the sunrise from the summit, breakfast is given as a packed "bento". This can be carried with you to eat on your way to or at the summit. Rice with pickled vegetables, fried egg, sausage and a preserved fish. 

For guests viewing the sunrise from Taiyokan, a breakfast of grilled salmon, rice and miso soup is provided in the dining hall after sunrise. Highly recommended to watch the sunrise from Taiyokan and enjoy this hearty breakfast before continuing your climb to the summit!
