Hiking time is an estimate for an average hiker, without breaks.
This loop leaves Otsuki Station, passes Koyose on the way to the Hatakura trailhead, climbs Mount Iwadono, and follows the rocky ridge through Kabutoiwa, Mount Tenjin, and Chigo-otoshi before descending toward Asari and returning to the station. The Mount Iwadono viewpoint overlooks central Otsuki toward Mount Fuji, while Chigo-otoshi is distinguished by its sheer rock face. The damaged traverse near Kabutoiwa is closed, so follow local signs onto the forest bypass.
