What You Should Know before Trekking

Use of Shelter Huts

Use shelter huts when staying overnight in the mountains.

Please use shelter huts when staying overnight in the mountains. Shelter huts are available free of charge in the following locations. Note that they are unmanned and do not contain cooking facilities or phones. Except for winter, the huts are crowded throughout the year, particularly during the series of consecutive holidays in May and during the summer vacation. Visitors are requested to share space so that as many people as possible can stay in the huts. Remember to carry all uneaten food and trash back out with you.

Use the limited space of the shelter huts in a cooperative manner.
