Hi!
I’m planning a 2-3 day hike in the Daisetsuzan National Park in March, I would like to ask more about the general note regarding non-emergency stay by the Asahikade refuge. I have a tent (and would stay next to the hut in the snow like in the picture), but now I don’t quite know whether this would be allowed. I’d very much like to follow all the correct guidelines and plan the hike accordingly.
Thank you for your wonderful work with this website, it’s a top resource!
Hi Saara, technically, staying in a tent would not be allowed. Although the rules are somewhat flexible and rarely enforced in the snow months (including March). I’ve not heard of anyone being told not to camp in the snow in winter in national parks in Hokkaido!
