Junichiro Takatsuma, the administrator of this mountain hut, is featured as a guest on the Spotify podcast Mountain Hut Stories. 👂You may enjoy it even more if you listen to it as well.In addition to Spotify, this episode is also available on YouTube's Yama to Keikoku channel. 🎥Other people's reviews say that the owner changed hands in 2023, so it is unclear whether Mr. Takatsuma is still the manager as of October 2024.At least in February 2023, an article will still be published with Mr. Takatsuma as the owner.As mentioned in Mr. Takatsuma's profile quoted below, he is not a time machine manager, but he may be able to provide services because he can see mountains and mountain huts overseas.I haven't used it yet, but I'm thinking of using it from 2025 onwards, based on the podcast and seeing the quality and differences in the service. 👀``As a tour leader for a travel agency specializing in mountains, I gained experience walking in mountainous regions, including Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, and trekking in the Himalayas.After working as an assistant to the late mountain photographer Shiro Shiro, he spent 15 years managing a mountain hut on Mt. Kitadake in the Southern Alps.Since 2020, he has been appointed as the manager of Oze's "Hara no Koya".It is the model for many mountain adventure novels, including Akio Higuchi's ``A Dog in the Sky'' and ``Haruka no Sora,'' and is also introduced as a non-fiction book in ``Kitadake Mountain Hut Monogatari.''

A very clean and comfortable mountain hut in a nostalgic building. The staff's attentive customer service, the kamameshi dinner, and the lunch box were perfect, and I will definitely come back again.I thought the crow water was enough for bathing, but the spacious bathtub and continuous hot water were a disappointing service.

I stayed here for several nights while climbing Mt. Hiushigatake. Many people came around the hut and enjoyed the lively atmosphere in the midst of nature. The pot rice at Haranoya was delicious.

The ownership has changed since 2023, and many of the employees have also changed.The free rest area on the right side of the main building is very convenient for leaving your luggage and strolling around Ozegahara.In front of the tree on the right side of the entrance is a white flower called Sankayou that becomes transparent when wet for a few hours.It was successfully fruiting in July 2023.In 2022, the flowers on the back side were eaten by deer, but at that time, the flowers on the front side were not eaten, probably because they were too small. June 17th.It came to fruition successfully. July 17th.Managed by Yama to Keikokusha.

The food was kamameshi made with margarine, and it tasted so bad that I couldn't eat it.The service at meal time is strangely smiling, but it feels like they want to be in charge.The room was clean, but the sheets were disposable plastic sheets that looked like nursing care sheets or pet sheets.Furuya is uncomfortable with no hospitality for customers

First Oze at 65 years oldI told a friend last yearThank you for making this happen exactly one year later today (7/20-21)!In the middle of the rainy seasonThe weather forecast from two weeks ago was not looking good until two or three days ago, but after that, I'm counting on God!What then?Both days were cloudy.The scenery and cheerfulness were unexpected.It was satisfyingAt the pond, it blooms on the surface of the water with its elegant and cuteness.``Sheep grass'' is an incongruous name.Blooms despite being eaten by deer"Nikkoukisuge"Other wetland plantsvast wetlands andsurround to protectMt. Shibutsu and Mt.

Use of guest house. For 4,000 yen/day, we had a private room, a large indoor self-catering area, and a well-cleaned toilet and bath. Above all, the owner's care was wonderful. I had a comfortable stay for 2 nights and 3 days. thank you very much.

I thought it was a hut run by Mr. Hara, but it turned out to be a hut in Ozegahara.It was raining that morning, so we arrived early, but we were able to check in easily.The entrance to Ozenuma was right in front of the hut, which was convenient, and the room, toilet, bath, and other facilities were clean, and the meals were nice and had refills.Before I went, I was wondering if I should buy a Jetboil, but they had hot water and cup noodles, so I didn't have to worry about having a late night snack, and the coffee was free, though self-service, and I was able to relax while looking out at the outside.There is also a charging corner for mobile phones and batteries.Finally, we got a good view of fireflies at Ozegahara at night.
