Kamotsurushi Shelter

Unstaffed emergency shelter at about 1,210m near Mt. Komotsurushi, on the Kososhi ridge that forms the boundary between Kanagawa and Yamanashi in the western Tanzawa area of Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park. It is one of eight shelters and rest huts managed by the Kanagawa Prefectural Natural Environment Conservation Center, whose list places it in Nakagawa, Yamakita Town; it has no toilet. These shelters are public facilities built to escape emergencies such as sudden bad weather, and visitors are asked to refrain from planned or regular overnight use except when unavoidable. Open flames and campfires are banned inside and out, solid fuel, alcohol stoves, firewood, charcoal and candles may not be used, and only gas or liquid-fuel stoves on a table or the earthen floor with a protective board are permitted. The rules also require no smoking, no monopolising the hut, carrying out all rubbish, leaving nothing behind, no nailing, closing doors and windows on departure, and signing the logbook.
