The Apoi-dake 5th Station Hut is located just over an hour’s hike from the Apoi-dake Trailhead, here. It’s about half way from the trailhead to the summit of Apoi-dake.
The Apoi-dake 5th Station Hut was never designed for recreational overnight stays. It’s a hinan-goya 避難小屋 – an emergency hut/shelter. As such, it’s a very basic shelter, with a dirt floor and raised wooden platforms just large enough to lay down on. It is solidly built though, and would be perfectly suitable for a rough sleep for whatever reason you wanted to sleep in it for. It is available for use year-round (it’s not locked).
