After watching the sunrise, we had a meal here. Instant noodles and milk tea were provided. I was really happy to be able to enjoy these ordinary delicacies in the mountains.

I registered to climb the mountain at Yamanashi 5th Station and ran up the mountain. I immediately got off the sand run on the Shizuoka side and asked at a temple at the foot of the mountain where the bus stop was going to Yamanashi, but I was told that it would be faster to go up one more time, so I went up again. I was really hungry, so I ate Bon Curry in Kamoi for 500 yen. Only one glass of water was free. In the evening, I went down to the 5th station and registered to descend the mountain. I'm tall so I stand out everywhere in the country. He is shy, taciturn, and a flower tree. We are proud of our vitality. Even if you don't have money, the sea and mountains are free. There's a fish. The sunrise and sunset are the best. I watched it 365 times nationwide. Even if working people are busy with work, they still go fishing after work or before going to work. You can catch big fish in the morning and in the evening. I'm the only one who fishes from the truck. I also went to my friend's house by truck. Everyone was surprised. This is the latest type intercooler turbo. Even though I've been retired for seven years, there are still outdoor units that I delivered to the prefectural rehabilitation facility, Hiroshima University Hospital, the medical center, and the rooftop of Hiroshima University's Faculty of Engineering. I unload 398kg by hand. It's also located behind Lawson. Holding a 200kg drum can with one hand. Humans have no limits. Everyone please take on the challenge. I think they probably won't budge. Every day. On busy days, even if I delivered 37 items a day, I would finish at 3pm and go fishing. The rockfish Mebao and Mebako were raised in an aquarium for one year. Even though I paid 10,000 yen to feed it, it only grew 1cm, so I returned it to the sea. You might be invited to Ryugu Castle soon~ Everyone's fishing is great. Everyone working at convenience stores, offices, and factories will suddenly experience a power outage. The main switch on the power distribution board trips. Don't panic, remove all the small sub-switches. Then, when I turn on the main switch and turn on the sub switch, the main switch always trips again. If only that sub switch is turned on, everything else will work normally. Please keep this in mind when repairing. There are many things in life. lol

All drinking water from vending machines costs 500 yen. It's a mountaintop price, but it's worth it! The new 500 yen cannot be used, but you can exchange it. Cocoa costs 500 yen in a paper cup. Cup ramen 800 yen. It was. Negative rating is that the girl at the shop was unfriendly, lacked explanations, and the process was not smooth.

!!!!! Take my advice and choose another lodge at lower level.. like 8 / 9 / 9.5 !!!!! Trust me…I chose this place for easier hiking the next morning for sunrise. Yes it served its purpose to give me an easier walk to the top (around 250m). But the night I spent therein was nightmare with reasons as below:1. Beds are too pack by sharing one attic area with over 40 people and no partition… you or others need to walk over beds to go to toilet at night (totally no corridor or any buff area). People also snored… so you can imagine2. They turn off electricity at 19:00. The attic area had one normal fan and one exhaust fan to “bump” fresh air from ground level to the attic… BUT they turn everything off at 19:00. There was NO circulation and you can’t breathe while trying to rest.3. They started serving breakfast at 04:00… so you wake up around that hours…. From 19 to 4, I experienced the worst 9 hours of my life with no oxygen and sweating.Other highlights:The toilet was horrible but I couldn’t compare becoz I never tried others. At least they should give u some water to pour into the bowl…Vending machine items all sold out too (only bottle water available)… so if you want any soft drinks.. get it from other lodge before reaching this one.

The toilet smells so bad that I can't stand the smell of the toilet in a mountain house.All bottled drinks are sold out, only hot tea is sold, which costs ¥300 for a small cup.

Only the location has the advantage, other accommodation quality is not recommended. The meals are normal. After all, food is hard to come by in the mountains. I can accept a full bunk bed. I knew this from the beginning, but the bed space is only about 150-160 centimeters. When you lie on it, your feet are forced to bend. The quilt I got is super narrow. As long as you lie sideways or want to move your feet slightly If it is straightened, it will definitely leak to the outside. In addition, the toilet smell was very strong all night. You need to cover your mouth and nose when lying down to feel better

It's the highest mountain hut in Japan and the perfect place to see the sunrise, so I didn't pay any attention to the reviews and decided to use it, but to be honest, I don't want to use it again.First of all, the food.The curry for dinner was good, but the breakfast was cat food, as someone said in a review. Moreover, I didn't have much rice as a staple food, so I only had chilled mackerel boiled in miso...I was also concerned about the attitude of the employees. I was only given a quick explanation of the inside of the building, and there were many things I didn't understand when I needed to go, so I was given an explanation at the beginning, but when I asked the staff again where the restrooms were, they said, ``...Eh...'' ?You're staying overnight, aren't you? (Are you really staying overnight?) I explained it to you first!'' You helped me clean up the curry just now, and for some reason you said "thank you" even though I'm Japanese, and I was shopping at the store just now. It seems like there is no point in listening to what has been explained again.She's a girl who looks like a strong-willed shop girl and wears a lot of earrings.I wish you could just say, “This way.”To be honest, I can't talk about the bed. It's full of sand and sticky...I get the impression that it's been used as is without washing after folding it. I think it's easy to understand if you imagine your grandmother's storehouse in the countryside.I heard that the lights go out at 7pm, but I would like you to at least give a shout out when the lights go out. There was no announcement when I turned on the lights in the morning.Although the location is nice, I have come to the conclusion that this unsanitary environment, service, and customer service are due to the arrogant spirit of sitting cross-legged and forgetting the basics.I am grateful that there is a hut where I can stay, but the customer service was so unreasonable that I hated everything about it.There were a lot of foreigners around, but the Japanese people were so scared of the rough environment that they felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep.

Right next to the Mount Fuji Post Office, the highest post office in JapanPeople who don’t have accommodation can also go in and buy instant noodles to eat inside.It is a very happy thing to eat a bowl of hot tofu skin ramen on the cold mountain top.

I made a big mistake by making a reservation without looking at the reviews. It was quite a painful memory. In order to have as many futons as possible, they stacked the futons next to each other, and it didn't seem like they had even done a simple disinfection, so it was smelly and I was bitten by ticks on my arms and ankles. I was grateful that it came with rice, but the amount was equivalent to one meal of cat food, and the store didn't sell anything, so I ended up sleeping exhausted and hungry. The bathroom smells so bad that I can't help but go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but no one closes the door to the bathroom.If I had a curtain in the guest room, I could manage, but I can't sleep because of the strong bathroom smell. Lights are turned off at 7 p.m., which is supposed to give everyone a break, but without any rules, it's terrible for people who turn on their headlights and lounge around, people who can't stop talking with their families, and people who want to sleep because of altitude sickness. . Is it because there are so many complaints? All the staff members look grumpy, have bad attitudes, turn off the lights and don't show their faces at all. Even though the location is nice, it's terrible that they don't even do basic things. Never use it again!

Unlike staying in a mountain hut below, if you climb the mountain during the day and stay overnight, you have the great advantage of being able to see the sunrise at the top of the mountain without having to climb in line the next morning.The lights are turned off at 7 p.m., and you are not allowed to go out until after 4 a.m. the next morning, so you will not be able to see the night sky, including the Milky Way.

Japan's 🇯🇵Mount Fuji🗻The highest accommodation and dining spot, because it is a mountain climbing, there is a warm mountain house that does not get wet, and you don't have to get up at 2 a.m. to chase after the sun.

It closes at 7pm. If you don’t have time to check in, there will be no dinner. If you make a reservation for 5 people, everyone must arrive, otherwise you won’t be able to check in. If you are not full, you can buy other food. If you have money, you don’t have to worry about not having anything to eat, but you have to do it before closing time; The room is warm enough and convenient for watching the sunrise. Because it is high enough, I turn on the lights around 3:30 in the morning and eat at 4 o'clock.

Used on 2024/7.13.14.It is located at the top of the Fujinomiya route.By staying the night at the top, you don't have to worry about climbing in the dark and getting stuck in traffic in order to see the sunrise in the morning.The crater is also nearby, and Kengamine is also nearby.Check-in is at 16:30, and until then you will have to wait at the reception desk at the restaurant.There are places where you can sleep side by side on the floor and places where you can sleep in two tiers. I think it was 70% empty on this day.The toilet is located inside the mountain hut and is free of charge.Lights go out at 7pm and you can't go out until morning.Honestly, the futon was rough with sand.There is no partition on the floor, but the space is divided into two levels with curtains next to each other, so you can have your own personal space.Breakfast starts at 4am and it can be difficult to find a place to eat.We recommend purchasing drinks in advance, as the vending machines are turned off at night.

The location is quite advantageous, next to the post office and only 0.4 kilometers away from Jianfeng.The bed is a little small, but the quilt is enough to keep you warm, so no extra sleeping bag is needed.Personal experience: Considering the difficulty of transporting ingredients, I can accept simple food, but breakfast is a package of heated ready-to-eat fish paste packets with very moist white rice. It is a bit difficult for me to accept, but the curry rice for dinner is delicious. La!It is recommended to bring more dry food up the mountain, otherwise the boys will definitely be hungry.

One advice: please do not book your visit there.Reasons why: lights go out at 7PM, nobody is allowed to go outside and view the sunset.The toilets smell horribly and sour, not maintained well.The food is rather too few for a 6 hour hike, please bring more food for yourself or more money. Also the breakfast is not amazing as well.Sleeping there is not comfortable at all, hard pillows, one small layer of matrass and too crowded.
