Hijiri-daira-koya (聖平小屋)

Hijiri-daira-koya sits in forest just below the 3,000 m-class summit zone of Mt. Hijiri-dake (3,013 m), making it the essential staging base for summit pushes and Southern Alps traverses through this remote sector. It’s valued for one thing above all: position—it breaks very long approaches into manageable stages and gives you a reliable logistics node in terrain that has become more demanding after typhoon damage in recent years.
