Route: Kaikoma Hinata Loop (Japan)

Kaikoma is a classic mountain climbed regarded as one of the most difficult in terms of ascent (about 2000m vert) the loop down to Hinata , first it requires a steep descent towards Nokogiri. There is a junction on the ridge line which leads to Eboshi.. here the trail is not that well marked but if one continues past this peak there are signs of a trail down towards Hinata and the completion of the loop. There is no water available after Kaikoma, so hikers/runners should bring enough.
