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

This out-and-back climbs Mount Shosha from near the ropeway base station on the Higashizaka pilgrimage path, crosses the Engyōji temple precinct, and reaches the 371-metre summit. It combines a wooded mountain approach with the historic pilgrimage setting of the temple known as the Hiei of the West, including Maniden and the Three Halls.
