A Leisurely start today for a late-morning walk up to Hyakken-gura, which provides the most spectacular views of the tour. For here the trail continues a forest track and eventually descends into Koguchi, as isolated village surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The final climb of our tour is a short but steep ascent of Mt Gongen to Gotobiki Iwa, a giant rock that is revered as a natural deity.
