Thank you for visiting Yari Onsen Hut. We're sorry to hear the bed space felt tight — with the upper mattress laid out, there was barely room for a backpack, and the mattresses on either side sat too close together.

Thank you for visiting Yari Onsen Hut. Glad you found the bath so relaxing, and thank you for the kind words about the indoor bath for women and even the trash catcher in the toilet. Because of heavy avalanche activity in this area, the entire structure here is taken apart each year and rebuilt from scratch once the snow has settled, before we can welcome guests again. We hope that gives some context behind the cost of staying here. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.

Thank you so much for staying with us across three nights, from Tsugaike all the way to Yari Onsen Hut! We're so glad every hut greeted you with a smile despite the crowds of weekend climbers. After descending the chain sections in the middle of a thunderstorm during your traverse, finding the hot spring waiting must have felt like salvation itself — that really moved us. Thank you also for thinking of the staff who keep the huts and trails maintained, including the helicopter supply runs that make it all possible. We hope you'll continue to prepare carefully and move mindfully as you keep enjoying the mountains together with all of us who support them. We hope to see you again in the mountains of Hakuba, in the Japanese Alps.
