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

This circuit climbs from the Hishigatake trailhead over Kitayama to Mount Hishigatake, the highest summit of the Gozu range, then traverses Yohei-no-kashira and Nakadake to Mount Gozu before descending over Mae-Ichinomine, Ichinomine, Ninomine, and Sannomine to Donguri-no-mori. Mae-Ichinomine and Ichinomine open views toward the Echigo Plain, the Sea of Japan, and the Iide mountains, while the long ridge contains repeated short climbs. The approach below Mount Hishigatake is steep and slippery, and a final paved-road walk returns from Donguri-no-mori to the starting point.
