July 3rd and 4th Construction material and Construction equipment or machine were unloaded.
July 7th they teared down the old hut.
As shown in photo ① most space of camping ground are occupied by construction material.
There are only 10 camping sites.
And also temporary hut is there, but only a few people can stay.
Thinking capacity of tent sites and hut, it is difficult to stay Mt.Hakuun Hut on the weekend.
If you plan to traverse mountains, please rebuild your hiking plan.

As shown in photo ② some construction machines are working.
So it is very dangerous, do not come close to these machine.

Hikers can use toilet.
But sometimes Hikers can not use it when construction machine is working near the toilet.
Please bring disposable toilet.
