5-3Yodogawa Trail Entrance - Mt. Miyanoura - Mt. Nagata - Nagata Trail Entrance (overnight)

The route connects the Yodogawa Trail Entrance, Mt. Miyanoura, Mt. Nagata, and the Nagata Trail Entrance. 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.
