Satomidaira-Seikan-so (Mountain lodge)

Seikanso is a mountain hut located at the 6th Station on Mt. Fuji’s Yoshida Trail, with an elevation of 2325 meters. The hut’s electricity is generated in-house, so you won’t need to worry about power outages. The toilets are clean and fully flushable (a new feature for mountain huts on Mt. Fuji). In the morning, a 5-minute climb will take you to Kyogatake (Rokkakudo). If you look out from the rocks behind there, you can watch the sunrise as it emerges from the darkness, east of Lake Yamanaka (one of the Fuji Five Lakes), and blankets you in its dazzlingly beautiful light. In the afternoon, overlooking the sea of white clouds down below will make you feel like you are soaring freely throughout the endless blue sky. If you shift your glance down even further, you can see the world beneath you stretch far beyond the horizon, including the overlooking view of the famous Fuji Five Lakes. At night, if you look up at the sky you can see the stars come alive and shine all around you. With so many more stars shining visibly brighter, it appears as if an infinite amount of diamond shards have been scattered across the night sky. Experience the mysterious beauty of our universe first-hand, by gazing up at the hut’s view of the stars that look close enough to touch.
