This return climbs the Suzufuri Ridge from the Hariudaira trailhead on the Oguni side to 1,417 m Mount Iwaigame, on the southern edge of the Asahi range between Nagai and Oguni in Yamagata. The ascent of about three and a half hours passes the Suzude spring and Ichi-no-to amid broad climax beech forest. The peak's shapely pyramid has earned it the name Matterhorn of Tohoku.
