Mount Gassan — Busshoike Hut

An officially linked camera at Busshoike Hut near Mount Gassan's ninth station. The original offers photographs of the hut surroundings and the snowfield direction. This seasonal service provides updating still images; weather or communications may delay updates, and darkness can obscure the terrain. Snow is not always present. The marker uses an approximate hut-area reference from Yamagata's official tourism map, not the summit or the eighth-station parking area.
