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

This loop starts near Hokyo Mountain Oda Rest Area, ascends Mount Hokyo on the Gokurakuji Course, and returns by the Jōganji Course via Mount Togari-sengen. From the 461 m summit, views extend over Lake Kasumigaura, Kashima-nada, the Kantō Plain, and Mount Tsukuba; clear days can reveal Mount Fuji and the Nikko ranges. The route combines the Gokurakuji Course’s rocky sections and wild-cherry woodland with the Jōganji Course’s streamside and ridge paths. Stay on designated trails.
