There is no other mountain hut that is as sturdy as this one!I had a very comfortable time🙏Tap water is rainwater, so you can't drink it!There is a mountain water flowing a little below the entrance, so I drank it as drinking water, but it didn't make my stomach upset. But at your own risk!

I didn't use it, but it's a tough mountain so it comes in handy in an emergency.There are also toilets and a water source, so it's very convenient.

I encountered a midsummer day in November and was exhausted.We made use of the evacuation hut.I am grateful for the comfortable uninhabited cabin.There is a water hole nearby, which I am grateful for.Probably around 10 people were using it as it was the autumn leaves season.Having solar lighting will help.

Of course you can stay overnight, but it's nice to have a drinking fountain nearby.

As it is a former manned small mountain, it is so complete that you would not expect it to be a shelter. Private power generation is alive and uses electricity 🉑.

It was spacious and comfortable. I have never seen such a nice uninhabited hut. The spectacular view you can see right after leaving the hut is worth seeing.

March of the 1970s? I stayed at The manager was there. I felt like I was contributing to society in my hometown after retirement. It looks like it has been rebuilt. Did they fry the logs in a helicopter?I slept in a synthetic sleeping bag, but it was so cold that I thought I might turn into a snow woman.I wonder what the current equipment and climate will be like. A log cabin might be quite warm.

Arrived at 2pm. I met with the manager who came to clean the room and directly asked him about the precautions to take when using the product. There were two people staying that day, including me, but the other person went upstairs and we didn't talk to each other, so we ate and went to bed. The room temperature in the hut dropped to 0 degrees at night because we couldn't get the firewood to catch fire, so we gave up on using the stove, but since we had unlimited use of blankets, we were able to sleep comfortably in combination with sleeping bags. The next day, I overslept and watched the sunrise from the hut, so I headed down the mountain immediately afterwards. However, I was surprised that this hut is free. We are grateful to the administrators and those involved in maintaining the facility.
