Even though the mountain hut is located in such a high place, I am very grateful that it is in good condition. At night, everyone can gather around the fireplace, chat, and relax. The rice was also very delicious.The futon was a soft duvet, warm and very comfortable.However, the room is quite cold.

Many of the employees at the mountain villa are young, and when you talk to them, they respond in a friendly manner. The freshly cooked rice was very delicious. At night, those who make the effort to climb can enjoy a spectacular view of the starry sky.

The sunset and the sea of ​​clouds are so satisfying. The climb down to the inn towards Okuho is steep and rocks roll loudly. Remember to wear a helmet

Hotakadake Sanso was the first mountain hut I ever used, and I had very fond memories of being able to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Unfortunately, since this is my first time using it, I cannot compare it with other mountain huts. I think that every time I use a different mountain hut in the future, it will become an indicator of whether it is better or worse than this one.If I had to say what was disappointing, it was that it was a very large mountain hut and it was a very busy season on mountain days, so there was no interaction with the staff at all. Dinner was delicious and I was able to get a second helping, but the portion of the Hoba sushi bento I ordered instead of breakfast was a bit small and didn't suit my taste.

The scenery is outstanding.You can climb Mt. Okuhotaka in about 1 hour.I had the luxury of drinking beer without thinking about anything while looking down on Karasawa and looking at the mountains in the distance.Dinner and breakfast were also delicious and satisfying. The rooms and toilets were also clean.Although it is a large mountain hut used by many people, it is not a lord's business. The customer service of the staff was also very polite.This is the first time I've seen a mountain hut that accepts cards for payment.
