Regarding Mt. Fuji Mountain Huts

Mountain huts on Mt. Fuji were originally built as emergency shelters and exist to this day as shelters from harsh mountain conditions. All huts offer simple dorm style accommodation. Because the mission of the huts is to provide safety and shelter to as many hikers as possible, it is not possible to pay for extra space. The huts provide the essential shelter and food you need to reach Mt. Fuji's summit.

It is important to note that huts on Mt. Fuji, including this hut, do not provide a heated dry room for drying out wet gear. Be sure to climb with spare, dry clothes kept in dry bags so you will have a change of clothes in the event you show up at the mountain hut in wet weather.

If you're driving your own vehicle, you will need to use the parking lot here and take one of the shuttle buses up to the Subashiri 5th Station. Alternatively, you can take a taxi from this parking lot up the road. The shuttle bus is around ¥1,500 per person, the taxi is around ¥4,000 and can fit 4-5 people (pricing and capacity subject to change). Depending on the day and season, there may be no taxis available when you arrive.

There are also regular buses that go up to the Subashiri trail from Gotemba Train station. However, bus departure times and prices are only shown in obscure, complicated PDF's in Japanese online. If you can't figure out the bus, call the information center here and they can probably help out.
