From Kamikochi, head for Karasawa Hutte via Yokoo. There are almost no dangerous spots along the way, but the continuous climbing takes away a lot of your stamina. Karasawa hut, located a little higher than the hut, is just a stone's throw away. The dinner we had at the hut we worked so hard to get to was delicious. You can also purchase collaboration goods between Karasawagoya and Mammut. When I looked at the hut from the deck at night, the colorful lights from the tents were beautiful.

I stayed there for the first time the other day.I think it's a very clean mountain hut.The toilet doesn't smell either.The view is good as it is located on a hill.Recommended if you want a quiet accommodation.

Walk from Tokusawa to Karasawa. I didn't plan on staying overnight since I had planned to stay in a tent, but I stopped by to shop at the store and take a break.At Baiten, I bought a cup of sake and a petit bag with a crispy bag.Cell phone reception is really bad around Karasawa. Meanwhile, I was very grateful to see the Wi-Fi information written at the entrance of the hut.It's a comparison to Karasawa Hutte, but it's also good that you can get water indoors. Inside the store.I would like to stay there someday.

We took a break while descending the mountain. The soft serve ice cream that I paid 700 yen for in the lower world was delicious.
