This loop climbs from the Kongo trailhead by the Kurotogadani route, visits Mount Kongo's summit area around Tenporinji Temple and Katsuragi Shrine, and descends by the Chihaya Hondo. It combines a wooded valley approach with the mountain's well-established main trail, giving the ascent and descent distinctly different character.
