Kisodono-sanso (木曽殿山荘)

Kisodono-sanso is a strategically placed mountain hut on the Central Alps ridgeline, built on Kisodono-koshi, the saddle between Mt. Utsugi-dake and Mt. Higashikawa-dake. It’s a classic traverse-stage base: you use it to split long ridge days, manage weather windows, and avoid committing to an overlong push across exposed terrain.
