Plan this hike

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

From the viewpoint on the Ho-onji forest road, this return hike follows the Hozukiyama Trail over Mount Hozuki, Shakushidake, Nakadake, and the Kirimado saddle to 1,625-metre Mount Kyogatake. Daylilies bloom along the ridge between Shakushidake and Nakadake in early summer, and the Ikeno-osawa crater floor below the summit records volcanic activity from about one million years ago. Take care on the rocks beyond Mount Hozuki and the steep final slope from Kirimado, and confirm that the forest road is open before departure.
