5-7Yodogawa Trail Entrance - Old Kurio Trail Entrance (overnight)

The route connects the Yodogawa Trail Entrance, the Hananoego Marsh, the Base Rock Viewing Point, and the Old Kurio 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. Both the Kurio Trail Entrance and the Old Kurio Trail Entrance are unclear, and access from the prefectural road is very poor.
