From Chojabaru in the Kuju range, this loop climbs grassy slopes of the Handa Highlands kept open by controlled burning to Lower and Upper Sensuiyama, follows the ridge over the 1,503 m Kuroiwayama with its black lava summit, and descends to Makinoto Pass before returning to Chojabaru. The ridge faces Kuju peaks such as Mimatayama, Hoshoyama and Iozan, with Miyama-kirishima azaleas in June and rhododendrons near the top.
