Trailhead choice to Mt. Shiga affects the feel and duration. The last 600m to the summit is a steep scree slope. This is a very exposed and challenging trail. Be well prepared for sunshine, wind, and longer hike time at altitude. You can hike this trail from either way.
There’s a shelter at the top of Mt. Iwasuge that has a hut nearby for use of a take home toilet system.
*Mountain climbing registration is required. Check this page for details.
The portable toilet booth at the summit of Mt. Iwasuge will be available for use from 12 June 2026 onward.
Please note: To help protect the natural environment, all used portable toilets must be taken back with you and disposed of properly. Toilet paper is not provided.
