Came here in late august. Was a good spot to camp. Has benches, toilets (for a 500 yen use fee), and a rainwater tank (which should be boiled or filtered before drinking). Was cold at night, below 10 degrees combined with the frequent alpine breeze. But there were rooms available too which I didn’t get to seeWould strongly recommend going around the crater, I took a whole day doing so because it was so beautiful

I used it for a tent night on the last day of the season. When I passed through here on a trail run, I saw a tent and wanted to pitch my tent here! I used it because I thought that ^ ^We also visited Mt. Hokuchindake and Mt. Hakuundake while doing a round, and returned to the stone room very satisfied.The tent fee was 500 yen. Beer (Sapporo Classic) was 800 yen, and juice was also available.The tent sites are all gently sloped. The pegs stick normally.You can see Mt. Katsuragetsudake and Mt. Ryoundake from the site.There is a bio-toilet (500 yen), and there is also space for a portable toilet. After you finish using the bio-toilet, let's cycle!There was no wind from beginning to end, which was great ⛰️

I stayed overnight on the figure 6 traverse from Asahidake Ropeway Sugatami Station via Asahidake.From the beginning, I assumed I would be staying in a hut, so I didn't bring a tent, but instead brought a sleeping bag and mat.The administration building and accommodation building are separate, and the back of each box is made of stone.It may not be suitable for people who don't like strong humidity and musty smells.Especially the row in front of the entrance/exit door is very humid and the stones are wet.If possible, the humidity will be better if you sit in a row next to the door.There is a space where you can hang your clothes, but don't expect them to dry.They sell cold beer, and you can choose between cold and room temperature bottled mineral water.If you are coming from Mt. Nakadake or Mt. Kitashindake, it might be a good idea to get water from the melting snow near Kumonodaira (I saw a fox near the hut, so a filter or boiling is required to prevent echinococcus).If you have time, we recommend viewing Sounkyo and Mt. Niseikausuppe from Mt. Keigetsu.

This is a mountain hut near the summit of Mt. Kurodake. The reading is "Kurodai Shimuro". There are tent sites, water holes, and bio-toilets, and during the peak season, it is crowded with many people as a waypoint for climbing Mt. We sell food, drinks, and original goods. Goods sell out quickly, so be sure to purchase early. You can see a spectacular view from Mt. Kurodake on the way to the stone chamber, so if you still have the stamina to climb to the top of Mt. Kurodake, please give it a try.

This is a fully equipped evacuation hut located a little lower than the summit of Mt. Kurodake.During the season, a manager is always on duty, and the shop is open. The manager was very kind and I felt the warmth of the mountain people.Please note that the stone chamber is very crowded during the high season and reservations cannot be made.There is also a tent site where you can stay overnight near the stone chamber, so it is a recommended place for beginners to stay overnight.Bio-toilets are installed, but during busy times there may be lines for the toilets and the toilets may overflow, so it is necessary to have a portable toilet available.It's a wonderful place where you can spend your time safely on the mountain. I would like to thank everyone involved for managing this project so well.
