the futons were super thin and very smelly toilets(thats to be expected i know because there is no plumbing but it still smelled awful) - still better toilets than some higher stations though it is pretty low(2780m) so a lot of walking to the summit compared to some higher accommodations

beautiful view and the accommodation is a lot more private than the higher stations , they also provide free earbuds for the noise the staff was also very nice and i enjoyed the food

It was horrible weather when we went and they are super strict about you coming inside when wet. Makes sense cause things take so long to dry but I thought they could’ve been a bit more understanding and helpful when it came to drying out or clothes. They don’t have much in terms of facilities and almost seemed underprepared for climbers coming in during bad weather so I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here if the weather forecast is bad. When I did my climb I noticed that nearly all the huts at each station were like this as well and not very friendly or accommodating, kind of forcing us to have to wait outside in the rain and cold while we rested during the climb. The hut on the 9th station was by far the most friendly and welcoming so honestly I’d recommend people stay there rather than here. However it’s quite the climb up to the 9th so this accommodation does offer an easier place to reach to for those who aren’t planning to climb to the summit. And the bed was horrible! Not that I expect much but easily the most uncomfortable sleep of my life so something to keep in mind before booking.

The food was amazing! We didn’t order a meal plan with our accommodation so was worried they wouldn’t serve us any food once there, but they still let us order some food as they were dishing it up. Great selection of food and was super impressed with it! Also pretty cool to be staying on the mountain so that was a cool experience in itself.

Rooms are quite small, but I think it is the same in all shelters at mt Fuji.

Food was very tasty, location is very good. You can test after your trip and start climbing at night.

Would have been slightly better if the pads were slept on were a bit thicker for comfort

Really cool spot with cool bunks

The sleeping area was clean and had privacy curtains. You could access the bathroom from inside. The rooms were kept at a good temperature at night. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Futon was very thin.

Friendly staff and good dinner (special dinner as well, because I'm a vegetarian). Good place to stay to reach the summit before sunrise (we got up at midnight and left around 00:30 and were there before the summit and took a break on the 9th station on the way up).

A personal shocker to me was the staff check in and everything was smooth but on the way down when I wanted to use the toilet I was hit by "you already checked out you cannot use the toilet key" which honestly would be fair if it was some kind of grand hotel but I never ever experienced a mountain hut deny toilet access to its customer that left for ascend about 6-7 hours ago (mind you I was back at 7th station at around 8am) to me thats lacking a human decency and is a reason why I will never stay in this mountain hut nor recommend it to anyone

Basic mountain hut, was not expecting anything fancy. Good place to stay the night and give your body some time to adjust since its just shy off 3000meters altitude

Staff not really accomodating. Also, futons are a bit dirty :(

At 3:30 AM, near the summit, my friend and I were caught in a heavy sudden storm. We decided to run back to the new 7th station to dry off before making a second attempt. When we finally returned around 5:00 AM, we were told we couldn’t come back inside. When I asked why, we were informed that it was because we had already checked out. This establishment’s lack of basic humanity is disheartening. A couple of days later, both my friend and I are now ill, and we never made it to the summit. I’ve summited various mountains, and while the facilities here are adequate for mountaineering—especially if you’re accustomed to sleeping on futons and aren’t too sensitive to noise—I’ve never encountered such a lack of compassion on a trek like this. The staff strictly adheres to their duties but offers no support beyond that. You’re completely on your own, even after paying a substantial amount for your stay. I would recommend avoiding this place. Instead, consider climbing Mount Fuji in a single day—it’s manageable as long as the weather holds.

Don’t take good care of guests

Good location

As a lower station you do have to get up earlier and hike longer on day 2 than some of the other options

It's a hut on mount Fuji, kinda a once in a lifetime thing. And 150 dollars for two people is pretty great. Food was tasty, it was warm inside, the mood was great, and the beds weren't too bad. Much more comfortable and private than the higher stations

Cozy, comfortable bed spaces and cleanest bathrooms on the entire route. Excellent, plentiful food and there is an English menu. Very welcoming staff. Perfect place to spend the night before a climb!
