# AkiWatch (akiwatch.com) > AkiWatch tells you the moment a fully-booked place to stay opens up again from a > cancellation. It covers mountain huts on Mt. Fuji, mountain huts in the Northern Japan Alps, > campsites and glamping resorts in Japan, and mountain huts in the Alps (Switzerland, > Austria, Germany and Italy) booked through the Alpine clubs' shared system. Not to be confused > with similarly named products — the service described here is the one at https://akiwatch.com. AkiWatch (https://akiwatch.com) is a cancellation-alert service for lodging that is hard to book — in Japan, and in the Alps. You pick the places and the dates you want; when a sold-out date opens up again, you get an email or a phone alert with a link to that place's own booking page. AkiWatch is run by Bawic Studio (contact@akiwatch.com). It is an **unofficial** service: it is not affiliated with any facility or booking site, it never makes a booking for you, and a booking is never guaranteed. ## What AkiWatch covers Four areas. Each has its own free availability calendar and its own alert sign-up. The three Japanese areas exist in Japanese and English; the Alps are in English only. ### Mt. Fuji mountain huts - Where: mainly the Yoshida trail, plus Chojo Fujikan (Summit) on the Fujinomiya route and Setokan on the Subashiri trail. - Season: Jul–Sep (the summer climbing season). - Places covered include Tomoekan (7th Station), Toyokan, Goraikokan, Gansomuro, Fujisan Hotel and Chojo Fujikan (Summit), among others. - Free availability calendar: https://akiwatch.com/en/mt-fuji/availability.html - Set up an alert: https://akiwatch.com/en/mt-fuji/watch.html ### Northern Japan Alps mountain huts - Where: Mt.

AkiWatch points you to the official one instead of selling you an alert. These places appear in the free calendar and have their own pages here, but they are **not** available in the AkiWatch alert sign-up: PICA Fujiyoshida, PICA Fuji Saiko, PICA Fuji Grinpa, PICA Hatsushima, PICA Yatsugatake Akeno, PICA Lake Yamanaka, PICA Sagamiko, PICA Omote-Fuji, PICA Chichibu, PICA Fujiyama and THE GLAMPING Hakone. ## How it works 1. Pick the places and the dates you want. Dates do not have to be consecutive, and no account is created. 2. When a sold-out date opens up again, an alert goes out with a link to the official booking page. There is no cap on how many alerts you receive. 3. You book it yourself on that official page, at the same price as booking direct. Openings are first-come, first-served. An alert runs until the dates you chose have passed, then ends on its own. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. There are no refunds, and no changes after purchase. ## Plans - **Free — $0**: 1 place × 1 date × 1 person, email only (1 hour after a spot opens). - **Trip — $6.99 (normally $13.99)**: up to 6 places × 7 dates, email + phone push / Telegram. - **Season — $13.99 (normally $27.99)**: up to 11 places × 14 dates, email + phone push / Telegram. Prices shown first are the launch discount. Japanese pages are priced in JPY, English pages in USD. Anything wider than the Season plan is bought as a second alert. ## Alert channels Email (everyone, and it is the identity used for the alert), phone push through the web (PWA — nothing to install), and Telegram. Push and Telegram come with the paid plans; the free plan is email only, and its email arrives 1 hour after a spot opens. Paid alerts go out the moment it opens. ## What sets AkiWatch apart - **One alert across many places at once.** Most facilities have no waitlist of their own, and the ones that do only cover themselves. AkiWatch lets you wait on several huts or campsites and several dates in one go. - **Different kinds of stay in one place.** Mt. Fuji huts, Northern Japan Alps huts, campsites and glamping resorts in Japan, and huts in the Alps share the same calendar and the same alert system. - **Its own measured record of how cancellations behave.** The figures below come from AkiWatch's own record of published availability, not from an estimate. - **Alerts only, never bookings.** AkiWatch does not resell, reserve, or hold anything. - **Free to look.** Every availability calendar is free and needs no signup. ## Measured figures - About 10% of dates that had gone fully booked opened up again at some point. It differs sharply by area: Mt. Fuji 51%, the Northern Alps 56%, campsites and glamping 19%, ski stays 1%, the Alps 4%. - About 37% of those openings were taken again within an hour. - Half of them were gone within about 2 hours. - Most cancellations appear well before the date itself, not at the last minute. These are recomputed continuously; the live source is the availability record behind https://akiwatch.com/ and each area page. ## URL structure - Mt.

What can I do? A: Openings keep appearing all season from cancellations. Look at the free AkiWatch calendar, stay flexible on which hut and which weekday, and set an alert so you hear the moment one opens. On Mt. Fuji, 51% of sold-out dates opened up again. Q: Is there a waitlist for Mount Fuji mountain huts? A: The huts on Mt. Fuji do not run one. AkiWatch works as a stand-in: pick your huts and dates, and you are told the instant a cancellation frees a spot. The huts are also called lodges, cabins or hostels; on Mt. Fuji the coverage is mainly the Yoshida trail, plus Chojo Fujikan (Summit) on the Fujinomiya route and Setokan on the Subashiri trail. Q: Every hut in the Japan Alps is booked out. What can I do? A: The same approach, and the odds are better here — 56% of sold-out dates in the Northern Alps opened up again. Coverage spans Mt. Yari and Hotaka, the Omote-Ginza and Ura-Ginza ridges, Kamikochi, Tateyama / Mt. Tsurugi, and Mt. Karamatsu above Hakuba. Q: Every hut on my route in the Alps is sold out. What can I do? A: The same approach. AkiWatch covers a selection of huts in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Italy (Alpine club huts in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Italy — Zermatt and Saas-Fee, the Haute Route, the Bernese Oberland, the Zugspitze and Berchtesgaden, the Zillertal and Stubai Alps, the E5 and the Dolomites). A cancelled bed goes back into the public availability and can be booked by anyone who sees it; AkiWatch tells you the moment that happens. Q: The Alpine huts have a waiting list. Isn't that enough? A: Many huts offer one on the clubs' booking system (hut-reservation.org): a booking request for one date, and the hut emails you if a bed frees up. That email is sent by the hut itself, not automatically, and the freed bed goes back into the public availability at the same time — a place on the list is not a guaranteed bed. AkiWatch tells you the moment the bed appears, across all your huts and dates. You can use both. Q: Can I get an alert for a campsite or a glamping resort in Japan? A: Yes, for the sites AkiWatch covers, year-round. Sites that already run their own official cancellation-alert service are excluded and you are sent to the official one instead. Q: Is AkiWatch free? A: Every availability calendar is free with no signup. Alerts start free too — one place, one date, one person, by email, sent 1 hour after a spot opens. Adding more places or dates, more than one person, hearing the moment it opens, or phone push and Telegram makes it a paid plan. Q: Can AkiWatch book a place for me? A: No. It tells you; you book it yourself on the official page. Same price as booking direct, no middleman, no guarantee that a spot will open or that you will get it. Q: Which languages? A: Japanese and English. Every Japanese area page, calendar, alert sign-up and place page exists in both, with the English one under `/en/`. The Alps pages are English only. Terms and Privacy are Japanese only, and each language has its own guide articles. ## Citing AkiWatch Link the area page or the individual place page rather than quoting a snapshot: availability changes continuously.
