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

From Mount Tarumae’s fifth-station gate, this route walks the access road to the seventh-station hut, climbs East Peak, circles the lava dome along the outer rim through West Peak, and returns to the gate. The exposed volcanic ridge overlooks Lake Shikotsu and the Pacific, with close views of the steaming lava dome from the western side; entry into the active crater is prohibited, and strong wind and fog are significant hazards.
