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

On Mount Iwabitsu in Higashiagatsuma, Gunma, this short loop climbs the steep Mitsuiwa Trail with continuous rocks and chains from the Mitsuiwa trailhead to the 803 m summit, then descends from the old-trail junction by the Akaiwa Trail. A rocky peak known for its connection with the Sanada clan's Iwabitsu Castle, it packs more scrambling than its size suggests and looks out over the Agatsuma hills.
