--Please send me a message beforehand with the name of the hut you want to stay at!-- (on here works, or through the website chat) Some huts require a deposit beforehand (money order only), huts like Karasawa book out immediately during busy season or if you’re going in the off-season, the huts usually want to know detailed itineraries and if you have the skill and gear. In that case I can advise you if the reservation is possible to begin with. Once you pay for the reservation you'll be directed to a form. Please fill in all the details, and I'll get back to you with a confirmation email. Disclaimer: You are responsible for cancellations and cancellation fees should you cancel or not show up. Also be aware if you are late or don’t show up the hut might call emergency and rescue services and report you missing. Hiking culture in Japan is very much focused on safety.
