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

This circuit climbs Mount Tsurugi from Minokoshi, makes the out-and-back ridge traverse to Mount Jirogyu, and returns to the trailhead. It passes Mount Tsurugi Summit Hut and Unkai-so, then follows the bamboo-grass ridge from western Japan's second-highest peak to Jirogyu. From Jirogyu, the summit plateau of Tsurugi and the Shikoku Mountains spread out below.
