5-6Yodogawa Trail Entrance - Mt. Eboshi/Mt. Shichigo - Yudomari Trail Entrance (overnight)

The route connects the Yodogawa Trail Entrance, the Hananoego Marsh, the Detaroiwaya, Mt. Shichigo, Mt. Eboshi, and the Yudomari Trail Entrance. Parts of the trail lack markings and are obscured, and it is therefore suited to experienced climbers with map-reading skills. Overnight stays in the mountains are assumed. The forest road to the trail entrance is currently closed (as of 2022).
