We climbed from the Nishihotaka Ropeway and stayed in a tent. On the first day of the three-day holiday in October 2024, I took the first ropeway from Shirakabadaira Station and arrived at the mountain hut, and the tent field was already about 30% full.Then I had the much talked about ramen, and although the noodles were like instant noodles, it was a great meal for a tired body. They have a wide variety of menu items such as oden and grilled char siu, and they also have beer, non-alcoholic beer, and highballs, so we had a mini-banquet after going to Dokubei.

I got the Nishiho ramen.It's a bit salty, probably because it's a mountain climber, but I think it's very satisfying for a mountain hut ramen.Thank you very much♪

2024 (Reiwa 6) 9/29~9/30 (use of tent field)I used it for a tent night. You can reach it on foot from Shinhotaka Ropeway Station. It is located low from Nishiho Sanso, and the site is flat, making it easy to pitch a tent. The reception will be held inside Nishiho Sanso and you will receive a tag to attach to your tent and attach it to an easily visible location on your tent.We checked in around 10:00. Check-out time will be 9:00 the next morning.If you are going to Mt. Nishihomaru or Dokubo and go there the next day, I think it might be a little busy if you go back and forth before checking out. There is a shelf outside the mountain hut where you can put your backpack, so after checking out, you can put your backpack on the shelf and go back and forth using Attack Zack.This time, it started raining during the night and puddles formed on the site, but thankfully the rain had stopped by the time we left.

I stayed here for one night on September 2024. 14,000 yen including two meals. It was a reasonable price. It was my second time staying in a hut after a long time (I usually do a lot of hiking in tents), but it was comfortable enough for the price. There is a rule that you cannot take your backpack to bed because it will get dirty, so I leave it in the drying room or on a shelf in the hallway. There is free water from the faucet. There are usually people brushing their teeth. There were 2 small and 2 large toilets. 150 people in the dining room? Will it fit? I think it's a specialty, but the owner of the hut is a weather forecaster, so he will tell you about the day's weather and the mountain conditions while you eat. This is very meaningful.There is a drying room, a changing room, a vending machine, a restaurant where you can have drinks and snacks, a toilet, a library, a backpack shelf, a beautiful tatami room with futons (kake, mofu, and pillow), and the room temperature is normal. It was a very comfortable place where you could spend time in just your casual clothes. It's famous for its ramen. I couldn't try it because I couldn't make it in time for ramen time when I arrived and after hiking.There were 3 of us in a 4-person room with friends, so we had a very relaxing time.・350ml beer can: 600 yen・250ml orange juice: 350 yen・500ml tea pet: 350 yen・Badge: 700 yenIt was.Wifi is also mostly connected.
