Hiking

There is one prepared hiking trail on the mountain, and it takes about 2 hours to reach the peak.[1] At the beginning of the trail, there are several steep climbs through an old growth forest. There is a fork in the path near the peak; the left fork leads to the Kanmuri Flats, while the right leads to the mountain peak.
