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

This traverse follows the Osado Mountains of northern Sado southwest from Donden Kogen, passing Aoneba crossroads, Matone, Masago-no-mine, Imoridaira and Tengu-no-yasumiba to Mount Kinpoku (1,172 m), the island's highest peak with its shrine, then descends to Hakuuntai. Open ridge where winter winds keep trees stunted alternates with forest, and in spring dogtooth violets and shirane-aoi colour the crest.

Mt. Kinpokusan summit weather (1,172 m, hourly, 14 days)
