Rodge Kuro-yon (often listed as Lodge Kuroyon) is a comfortable lakeside lodge-style mountain hut near Kurobe Dam / Lake Kurobe on the Tateyama–Kurobe Alpine Route corridor. Unlike exposed ridge huts, it’s best described as a logistics-and-rest base: a practical overnight close to major access infrastructure, useful both for hikers and for visitors exploring the Kurobe area.

Taira-no-koya (also written Hirano-koya / 平乃小屋) is a unique lakeside mountain hut on the west shore of Lake Kurobe, created after the Kurobe Dam was completed in 1963. What makes it special is its role as a logistics hub: the hut is associated with the boat crossing that links the lakeside route with Harinoki Valley—a key connector for long traverses in the Northern Japanese Alps.
