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

From near Myooin temple in Katsuragawa Bomura, this west-to-east crossing climbs steeply to Gotenyama, passes Wasabi Pass to Bunagatake, at 1,214 m the highest peak of the Hira Mountains, and continues via the Yakumogahara upland marsh and Kita-Hira Pass down the Dake Trail past Kamoshikadai and Indaniguchi to Hira Station by Lake Biwa. Heavy snow keeps the treeline low, so the summit gives a full circle of views including the lake, which spreads close below Kita-Hira Pass.

Mount Buna summit weather (1,214 m, hourly, 14 days)
