The hut closest to the top of the mountain does not have to climb so long at night. It provides dinner, which is not bad. The sleeping place is a Datongbu with a curtain to block it. Eye masks and earplugs are provided, but you can still hear other people's voices.

This is my second time climbing Mt. Fuji.This time I went on a mountain climbing tour.The mountain hut is designated by Goraikokan.It's the 8.5th station, so I got tired of walking and arrived at the hut.I had a very comfortable stay.As soon as I arrived, I had dinner and it was a hamburger steak.By that time, my lunch box for the next day was ready.The room was clean and the sleeping bag was also clean.There was never someone else's foot on top of my head (lol)The best thing wasGoraikokan exclusive climbing guide (Ken-chan)be responsibleHe showed me around.All 16 people in our group were able to reach the summit.I really wanted to do it this timeWe were also given a tour of the bowls.On the way to the mountain, I told him what I couldn't do seven years ago.He said something very reliable, saying, ``There is a high probability that we can take you to Goraikokan!''I climbed up with great enthusiasm!We were blessed with good weather and were able to tour around the pots.On the way to the Obachi tour, we visited a place recommended by our mountain climbing guide, Kenchan.See the sunrise tooAnd I was able to see as far as Kage Fuji.I was also able to visit Kusushi Shrine and Summit Sengen Taisha Shrine.Located behind the highest stone monument in JapanThank you for telling me the location of the true highest peak.I've had the best experience yet.There's nothing better than thatIt was a fun-packed climb.Mr. Gorikokan, Mr. Climbing Guide Ken-chan, Mr. Sub-guide whose voice has become hoarse.The best memories of climbing Mt. Fujithank you very much!Please note that due to weather and other factors, we may not be able to tour the bowls.

The mountain house closest to the top of the mountain and in a good locationIt took us a total of 6 hours from the trailhead to the Goraikokan. We also stopped to eat instant noodles and burn seals at each restaurant on the way 😂The price of one night at Yulaiguang Pavilion is not cheapIt rained a little on the day of the climb🌧️When we entered the house, they helped us dry ourselves a little before going in. They also provided us with two plastic bags each.One for bags and one for shoes.Dinner and breakfast will be served together at the agreed dinner time, and it costs 300 yen to use the toilet outside.The beds are ok and there are curtains so you won’t be embarrassed to sleep with the people next door.But it’s a little small, so I might disturb the people next door if I turn over XdIt rained heavily that night and it was very difficult to use the toilet outside.Wear a raincoat and slippers 😂

I think the criteria for evaluating a mountain hut is different depending on what it is compared to, but I think it is difficult to evaluate a mountain hut because the services it can provide differ depending on the environment and resources.Considering the original meaning of a mountain hut, we are very grateful to be provided with a place to eat and sleep at the altitude of Hachigo-Gogo.Personally・Toilet that can also flush paper・Earplugs and eye mask provided at check-in・The futon usually causes allergic symptoms, but I didn't.However, it was highly rated.

I think it's a nice mountain hut. Although it has a bunk bed, it's not crowded. This is the mountain hut closest to the top of the mountain on the Yoshida Route. It took about 2.5 hours to reach the top in the early morning at 2:30 the next day.
