This return route runs from Kaimon Station through Kaimon Sanroku Fureai Park and follows the mountain's spiral trail to the 924-metre summit of Mount Kaimon. After a mostly forested climb and rocky, stepped and laddered sections near the top, the summit opens views over Lake Ikeda and the East China Sea, with Kirishima and Yakushima visible in clear conditions.
