The Hisagonuma Refuge Hut is located next to the Hisagonuma lake (ヒサゴ沼) to the east of the main ridge of Kaun-dake, in the central Daisetsuzan Range (location).
The Hisagonuma Refuge Hut, refurbished in 2019, is a small, basic two-story wooden hut with a camping area. The campground can be boggy. Officially, the hut is strictly for emergency overnight stays only (as per the official webpage). Therefore, if choosing to stay next to the lake, ideally you’ll have a tent, and stay at the campsite nearby.

It is not possible to book ahead for this hut. Note that during the peak Daisetsuzan hiking period (August), the hut can be full, so carrying a tent is recommended.

It is not recommended to consume water from the lake, even when boiled or treated.
Kitchen/cooking: There is no dedicated kitchen or cooking area.

Elecricity: No.

While this hut is funded and managed by the Tokachi Development Bureau, the day to day maintenance of the hut relies heavily on volunteer labor. If you make a visit, please give the place a clean, and make sure to sign the guest book. Always leave a hut cleaner than you found it.
