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

From the village of Ogawa in Echizen, this return climbs the ridge along the ascetics' path said to have been walked by the monk Taicho, passing Ochi Shrine to the 612 m summit of Mount Ochi. Regarded as the oldest training ground for mountain asceticism in Hokuriku, it passes numbered stone markers and the Tokko spring, said to have gushed when Taicho struck the rock with his ritual implement, before returning through beech woods from the shrines near the top.
