Minami-dake-goya (南岳小屋)

Minami-dake-goya is a high-alpine ridge hut positioned between Mt. Yarigatake and the entrance to the Daikiretto—the famously exposed traverse toward the Hotaka peaks. It is a key strategic stop for hikers and traverse parties moving along the Yari–Hotaka ridgeline, allowing you to split long stages, manage weather windows, and plan water logistics before committing to serious terrain.
