General notes

The Chubetsu-dake Hut is a very basic but comfortable two-storey emergency A-frame shelter. There’s a small campsite just below the hut, large enough for about 15 small tents. There’s also a couple of deep pools in the river just below the lower campsite, perfect for a wash on a hot day. Be warned: the water is icy cold!
