The author had expected the drive from Obako-dake to take about two hours. Navigation showed two and a half hours. A wrong road and a very narrow, difficult stretch pushed travel time alone past three hours. They arrived just after 1 p.m., with about four hours until sunset.
They started at once and kept a fast pace from the beginning, prepared if necessary for a night hike, aiming to be back in about four hours. The sky was cloudy and the autumn foliage was near the end of the season. They still took in views along the way and the broad outlook from Kasasute-yama, then descended quickly and returned before dark. The author notes that the timing should have been planned more carefully.
Checkpoint times in the source text are not clearly separated, so they are not listed here. No average pace figure is given.
