Important information about mountain huts

Please be sure to read it

This is important information for guests who are staying at a mountain hut for the first time.

  • This is a basic guide to the Yamanohanagoya

    Our mountain hut is basically self-service.
    A mountain hut is a facility for customers who enjoy mountaineering to rest their body tomorrow for safe mountaineering.

    Payment is generally by cash.Credit cards are not accepted.

    Since it is a mountain lodge, please bring everything you think you will use.

    Please consider that it is difficult to procure what is missing locally.
    We sell drinks.
    You can drink tap water.
    Only au and docomo mobile phones can be used inside the hut.
    Basically, the room is a private room and you will not be with other groups of guests.

    Insects may occur differently depending on the season, but it is a natural phenomenon in the mountains and cannot be prevented.We will do our best to deal with it, but please understand that there is such a thing.
    In addition, there are no items for sale or rental such as insect repellent and anti-itch, so please bring them with you.

    The room is a Japanese-style room and only a futon set is available, so please bring your own other necessary items.
    There is no rental such as a hair dryer.

    Even in summer, there are chilly days at night, so it's better to have something to wear.
    Oze is about 10 degrees lower than the temperature in Tokyo.
    Yamanohanagoya is an hour's walk from Hatomachi Pass
    Please understand that transportation access will eventually have to walk for an hour.

    ・Check-in time:From 13:00 to 16:00
    ・Check Out:8 o'clock

    Basically, it is important to finish hiking in the morning.
    We ask that you arrive at the mountain hut by 16:00 at the latest.
    The final time of the shuttle bus from Oze Tokura to Hatomachi Pass is 16 o'clock, but if you missed the last bus plans aimed at the last bus I hope in a plan that has a margin because it does not have a means to come to our hut ..
    In addition, there are no street lights or other lights on the mountain trail.
    Thunderstorms are common in summer afternoons.
    Please be sure to observe the arrival time for your safety, as it is dangerous during the evening when the beast (bear) moves actively.
    Bears may appear even in the daytime.If you encounter a bear, keep a quiet distance so as not to irritate the bear.
    In addition, please consider the weather conditions, physical condition, physical strength, etc. of the day before entering the mountain.
    There is no medical institution in Oze, so please refrain from entering the mountain if you are in poor physical condition.
    Meals are prepared at the dining room.Guests departing before breakfast can also turn breakfast into a lunch box.Please contact the reception when you arrive.

    ・Dinner:17:00
    ・Breakfast:Six o'clock

    Bathing time varies depending on the day.We will inform you upon arrival.
    Oze, it is difficult to procure supplies such as fuel, and in order to save resources, we cannot meet personal requests such as extending the bathing time and wanting to take a bath before going to bed.We apologize for any inconvenience caused by understanding the special environment, and thank you for your cooperation.

    In addition, soap and shampoo are not normally available at mountain huts in Oze to protect the wetlands, but since the coronavirus outbreak, you can use the full body shampoo provided.We are equipped with a septic tank, so there will be no impact on the wetlands, but please refrain from using soaps brought in by customers.

    The turn-off time is 21:00.

    After turning off the light, please rest quietly in your room.
    In addition, some customers who depart early in the morning or in the middle of the night are absent, so please prepare as quietly as possible.

    Finally, depending on the season, the floors of the hallways and rooms inside the hut may become distorted.This is due to the fact that 4 meters of snow accumulates during the winter, and the hut itself becomes distorted as it withstands the weight.The location of the distortion varies depending on the year, but we maintain it every year to this day.Phenomena such as the door not closing properly are proof that we have endured under such harsh conditions, and although it may be a little inconvenient, we would appreciate it if you could stay with us for the night.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

  • Information when walking in Oze

    When walking in Oze?
    Let's walk on the boardwalk.Do not go down except for the wooden path to protect the plants.
    Basically, it is on the right side.It is dangerous to look away while walking, and on the third step you look away, you often see a place where you fall off the boardwalk.It falls suddenly, so it falls flashy.It's dangerous.Just stop and observe, not while walking.
    Also, the boardwalk is very slippery and dangerous if it is wet.It is common for people to slip and fracture unexpectedly.Be careful where the boardwalk is wet, frosty, or has fallen leaves.

    There is a cargo carrying luggage in Oze.When many lodges are many kilometers away a day, they can carry up to 100 kilograms of luggage.It's unusual, cool, and overwhelming, but never approach, stop, take pictures, or talk to them.Imagine, can you enjoy talking to many people while carrying 100 kilos? It's hard just to carry it on your back.Also, do not block your path.If the road is narrow or on a bridge, wait for the cargo to pass by at a distance.If you get close and the load is out of balance, it will lead to a big accident and it is very dangerous.If you see a load, watch it gently and enjoy the scenery.

    There is no shade in Ozegahara.Summers can be hot and heat stroke.Don't forget to take action food as well as water and eat it diligently.In addition, tea and water alone do not prevent heat stroke.Be sure to drink something with flavor, such as sports drinks.The feeling of leg cramps is the beginning of heat stroke.If your legs are cramped, eat or drink and deal with them as soon as possible.

    After that, please enjoy Oze to your heart's content without any injuries or troubles.
