On YAMAP, member katomiso logged a return to the mountains at Kaburayama (蕪山), a peak their partner had wanted to visit.
The activity summary lists 4 hours 55 minutes, including 1 hour 9 minutes of rest, over 8.1 km, with 783 m of ascent and 778 m of descent. The course is rated ordinary (ふつう), with a course constant of 18 calculated from a standard time of 4 hours 41 minutes. Exported checkpoint times run from 08:16 to 13:12; some figures in that export are concatenated and not clearly labeled, so they are not interpreted here.
The trailhead is described as easy to reach, with a large parking area and toilets. The morning was pleasant. Few cars were there on arrival, though the writer expected more hikers because access is so straightforward.
Along the way they saw the kabusugi (株杉) they had hoped to find: cedars growing on large stumps. After that, the route continued as a traversing trail. Autumn leaves in the morning sun stood out, and they walked while taking photos.
At the summit, many people—possibly a group—were already resting. The top is wide enough that they could eat onigiri while looking out. Visible peaks included Ontake, Norikura, and Hakusan, which left the writer surprised by the view and aware that the mountain is popular. They also took summit photos because a hot spring apparently offers a discount when visitors show one; the log does not name the bathhouse.
They described the day as a good season and good weather on a mountain that left them feeling restored.
