5-1Nagata Trail Entrance - Mt. Nagata round trip (overnight)

The round-trip extends from the Nagata Trail Entrance to Mt. Nagata. It is a long route with few markings, and is therefore suited to experienced climbers with map-reading skills. Overnight stays in the mountains are assumed. Crossing becomes difficult when the water level rises, so the route requires decision-making skills in bad weather.
