This established out-and-back route climbs from the Shirakamidake trailhead through Mateyama to Mount Shirakami and returns the same way. It rises through hiba, nezuko, and beech forest to wind-swept grassland and a ridge overlooking the primeval beech forest of the Shirakami Mountains and the Sea of Japan.
