Kasa-gatake-sanso (笠ヶ岳山荘)

Kasa-gatake-sanso is a classic high-ridge mountain hut located just below the summit area of Mt. Kasa-gatake in the Northern Japanese Alps (Hida range). It’s best known for its huge panoramic views—especially toward Yarigatake and the Hotaka range—and for serving as a strategic stage hut on demanding multi-day itineraries in the less crowded Hida side of the Alps.
