From the Daikokuten trailhead on the Miyagi side, this return climbs Kattadake with its Katta-mine Shrine and follows the Umanose ridge above the emerald crater lake Okama to Kumanodake, at 1,841 m the highest peak of the Zao range. Zao-san Shrine stands on the summit, komakusa bloom along the ridge in summer, and clear days bring views to the Pacific, Mount Chokai and Gassan.
