Plan this hike

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

This out-and-back route starts at Hakkai-san Ropeway Summit Station and climbs via Nyonin-do, Mount Ikenomine, and Mount Asakusa to Mount Yakushi and Senbonhinoki Hut, then crosses Jizo-dake and Dainichi-dake to 1,778 m Nyūdō-dake. Nyūdō-dake is Hakkai-san's highest peak, and Hakkai-san is one of the Echigo Three Mountains with Mount Echigo-Komagatake and Mount Nakanodake. The ropeway shortens the climb to the fourth station, but the route toward the summit is a full mountain route for experienced hikers.
