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

This return route climbs Mount Gassan's 1,984 m summit from Ubasawa Parking without using the lift, following the Ubasawa Old Trail. It leaves the beech forest to join the lift route below Ushikubi, then passes Ushikubi—the junction for Mount Yudono and Mount Ubaga—to Gassan Summit Lodge and Gassan Shrine's main sanctuary.
