Toyo-kan - 3000m Above Sea Level (Mountain lodge)

Toyokan is a mountain hut located at the 8th Station on Mt. Fuji.
In the late Edo period, the hut went by the name “Tougorou-goya,” and was famously used as an emergency shelter by the “Fujiko” (a group of religious Mt. Fuji worshippers).
The current owner (10th generation) boasts an ambitious spirit, just as the previous generations did.
Enshrined in the hut, there are sculptures of the “Maneki Neko Cat” and the “Eight Great Dragon Kings” that are rumored to be pieces by the famous Japanese artist Hidari Jingoro.
You can stay overnight at the hut (reservations required) or shop from the goods they have for sale, including: snacks and other portable foods, beverages, raincoats, flashlights, and basic climbing gear.
It takes about 3 hours from the 5th Station to reach Toyokan. Then, another 3-hour climb from there should take you all the way to the summit.
Toyokan is located at the halfway mark between the 5th Station and the summit of Mt. Fuji.
Additionally, Toyokan is a certified facility for MEDIC First Aid (EMP Japan).
MEDIC First Aid is an emergency care training program officially recognized by the World Safety Organization (WSO).
Staff members at the hut are trained in first aid and CPR. They can also help with treating, assessing, and preventing injuries and common illnesses.
If you have any concerns, do not hesitate to ask the staff for assistance.
