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

From the Kogara trailhead at 1,360 metres, this return follows the Fukushima B Route across the Kono River, passes the Chikaramizu spring and Kiso-Komagatake seventh-station shelter, and reaches 2,733-metre Mount Mugikusa. The long, steep climb rises from conifer forest into dwarf pine, with summit views of Kiso-Komagatake, Kiso-Maedake, Hoken, Ontake, and the Northern Alps. With about 1,370 metres of ascent, it demands strong fitness and care at the river crossing and steep slopes; return the same way and do not enter the abandoned Fukushima A Route or the closed ridge toward Kiso-Maedake.
