This circuit climbs from the Kongō trailhead to the summit plaza on the established Chihaya Main Trail, then descends by the Takahata Valley path. Chihaya is the mountain's well-maintained standard approach, but the Takahata side includes harder, less distinct terrain with route-finding and fall hazards, requiring mountain experience and suitable equipment.
