Plan this hike

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

This short loop from the Hachimantai Summit parking area visits Kagami Pond, the Mount Hachimantai summit, viewpoints over Gama Pond and Hachimannuma Pond, and Mikaeri Pass. Well-maintained paths make it an easy way to explore volcanic ponds and the native Aomori fir forest. Kagami Pond is known for the Hachimantai Dragon Eye, a snowmelt pattern usually seen from late May to early June. Stay on the boardwalks and designated paths to protect wetland plants.
