The Yubari-dake Hutte is located here, about 20 minutes beyond the end of the forestry road, at the bottom of the Uma no Se trail.
The Yubari-dake Hütte was recently rebuilt (in 2013 – details here) by the members of the Yupari Kozakura Association volunteer club that owns it and looks very comfortable. The cost of the rebuild was funded out of the association members’ own pockets – a total cost of 7,600,000yen (US$70,000) funded by 1210 donors. There is currently a hutkeeper present at the hut between the third Saturday in July and the end of August, and on weekends in September. Outside of these periods, the hut is available for use as an emergency hut. In winter, the forestry access road to the hut is not cleared. This would require between 8-14km of flat skinning to the hut, depending on winter road closures during any given winter season. See this draft ski touring route for details.
There is no food, gas, or other items for sale at the hut.

The vast majority of huts in Hokkaido are 100% maintained through passionate volunteer time and effort. The Yubari-dake Hütte is a fine example of this. The hut itself was entirely paid for by Yupari Kozakura Association volunteer members. 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.
