Akadake-sanso (赤岳山荘)

Akadake-sanso is a convenient trailhead-style mountain lodge in the Yatsugatake range, positioned at the Minoto junction—a key logistics point for routes toward Mt. Akadake and the broader Southern Yatsugatake network. It’s primarily used to stage early starts, split itineraries, and avoid carrying heavy loads from lower access points.
