From the Nakatsuka trailhead in Sekikawa, Niigata, this return crosses a rolling ridge over Kokuzomine (Okuyama), Kannonmine and Raimine and climbs a roped steep section to the 966 m Mount Kosagi. A sacred mountain said to have been opened by the monk Jikaku Daishi in 861 and named for a rabbit-shaped snow patch on its western face in spring, its summit shrine looks out to the Asahi and Iide ranges.
