Introduction to Mountain Huts

Business period: June 15th to November 2nd, 2026

Heading from the top of Mt. Kitadake in the direction of Mt. Aino-dake, it is a but built in the saddle with Mt. Naka-shirane-san.

Yamanashi Prefecture was established in 1978 as a base for the relief of the crowding of huts on the Kitadake Ridge Line and for teaching safe climbing in the northern area of the Southern Alps.

There are days when 400 climbers rush to the capacity of 150 people, and there are days when it is not possible to ensure the security and safety of mountain climbing, and it seems that the hut administrators’ true wishes are that climbers avoid consecutive holidays and Saturdays as much as possible.
