Hiking time is an estimate for an average hiker, without breaks.

From the eighth-station trailhead of Akita-Komagatake, this route passes the Katakuradake lookout and Amida Pond to Yokodake, descends the volcanic sands of Oyakesuna with their great colonies of komakusa, and returns along the boardwalk through the crater floor known as Baba-no-koji, nicknamed Moomin Valley. It covers the most flower-rich part of a mountain counted among Japan's 100 flower mountains, with chinguruma and alpine violets, and views down to Lake Tazawa.
