Getting there

Begin the hike by driving to the Bokyo Forest Campground in Nakanoho in Ena city (Gifu Prefecture). The road is windy and a lot of blind corners. Be careful. 

Route/Trail notes

Begin the walk at the carpark. There is a clear obvious trail. Follow this trail to a small clearing with a picnic ground. Here there will be a rock that you can climb on. This rock has best views from Kasagiyama. After getting off the rock, continue along the path to the summit where you will see a large shrine. Continue past the shrine (at the back) and turn right. This will lead you a bit down the mountain where you walk over a ladder and into a cave. Here you will see some glowing moss. Backtrack to the temple and then take the left turn. This will take you past a wooden lookout tower with questionable structural integritry. Climb up this for good views. Finish the hike going down this way. It will take you back to the carpark.
