There are no steep cliffs or challenging paths on the usual hiking trails. For the route beyond Yakushizawa, which is a commonly used path, there are ladders and rocky sections for a certain distance. The wooden paths around Kumonodaira can become very slippery when wet. Please exercise caution as there may be corroded sections or areas that have shifted due to heavy rain, creating a seesaw-like movement. As there are multiple routes to Kumonodaira, for information on the trail conditions, please inquire at the nearest mountain hut.

Please refer to our website's Access and Route Information and your mountain map. Compare the course time on the map with your estimated time, and plan your mountain trek accordingly, ensuring a safe and manageable hiking schedule.
