This loop climbs from Matsukawa Onsen to Gentagadake and Ofukadake, follows the Ura-Iwate ridge over Kobukko to Mitsuishiyama, and descends past Mitsuishi Hut. It combines open stone-pine ridges with views of Mount Iwate, alpine flowers, wetlands and old forest, while Mitsuishiyama is especially known for some of the earliest autumn colour on Honshu.
