Plan this hike

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

From Kawabadani Campground, this route climbs past Fudodake and over chained scrambles such as the crab traverses to Mae-Hotaka with its statue of Yamato Takeru, crosses the rock towers of Kawaba Kengamine with their small shrines and Ienokushi, reaches Oki-Hotaka, the 2,158 m high point, and returns from Mae-Hotaka to the campground. A demanding line of rock and chains, it looks south from Oki-Hotaka to Mount Akagi and on toward Nikko and Shiga Kogen.
