The Tarumaezan 7-gome Hut is located in the Shikotsu-Toya National Park, at the main summer trailhead to Tarumae-zan, here. This is on the northeast side of the mountain, accessed via a gravel road from Route 141.
There are only two other huts in Hokkaido with year-round hut keepers (Ginreiso Hut and Hakucho Hut). However, this Tarumaezan Hut is unique in that officially, overnight stays are not allowed, except in an emergency (see here for details in Japanese). The hut keeper is at the hut irregularly, but is there four days of the week. The hut keeper is a lovely chap, and will happily welcome cold and weary hikers in to warm up next to the large stove. The bottom floor of the hut where the stove is located is small though – any more than three or four people, and there won’t be room to sit.
NOTE: The main image above shows a snowmobile next to the hut, however snowmobiles are, as a rule, not allowed in the national park (the one pictured is for the hut keeper’s use).
