I have never stayed there. I gave up on the dirt forest road heading to the Sakuradaira parking lot. It takes a lot of determination to get there in a regular passenger car. The raised stones in the center of the rut fly off and scratch the belly of the car, causing damage to the car body. Do you all drive high-height cars or cross-country cars? If you have to separate from an oncoming vehicle, you will have to reverse into a curve with poor visibility. No one has written anywhere about the dangers of getting to the Sakuradaira parking lot.I would like the website to clearly state the precautions to be taken before climbing a mountain or at a mountain hut.

Thank you for helping me climb Mt. Iodake. I was grateful that they provided a private room for my family. After walking, the cypress bath and cherry blossom hotpot dinner are exquisite. Children staying overnight will receive a summit certificate along with an award ceremony. It was a good memory for my children. This is a mountain hut that you will want to visit again.

Thank you for your help in climbing Mt. Iodake.It starts from Sakuradaira (bottom), but it's a moderate forest road. If possible, we recommend starting from Sakuradaira (middle).I stayed for several nights, and the meal was slightly arranged on the second day, which I felt was taken into consideration.It was a big room, but I only had a place to sleep.There were no curtains, so I had to wait until no one was there to change my clothes, lol.The bath was very helpful in the summer.The shower only gives water. I'm just soaking in hot water, but I'm still happy.Overall, I'm glad you had a cool summer vacation.

Altitude 2330mOn the first day of Obon, it is quite crowded.Today was a bullet summit, but I think I'll pitch my tent here next time.I'm looking forward to beer and the starry sky.It looks like you can climb many things from here.
