Hiking time is an estimate for an average hiker, without breaks.
From the foot of the mountain in Matsumoto, Nagano, the Hundred Bends zigzag up to Hirokoba and past Eboshi Rock on the plateau's edge onto the Utsukushigahara highlands. The walk crosses flat pasture where about 300 cattle graze in summer to Ogato, the 2,034 m high point crowded with broadcast towers and a hotel, with a wide view of the Northern Alps, then descends to the Datekawara trailhead to close the loop.
