From the Mount Taro trailhead at Sanno Pass in Nikko, this return crosses Sannobooshiyama and follows a narrow rocky ridge from Kotaroyama to the 2,368 m Mount Taro in the centre of the Nikko range. Revered as the son among the three sacred mountains of Nikko, with Nantai as father and Nyoho as mother, its ridge from Kotaroyama gives fine views of Mount Nantai, Senjogahara and Lake Chuzenji.
