This YAMAP report is titled for Gyosendake and Kasasuteyama. Recorded figures are a time of 4 hours 10 minutes, a distance of 8.9 km, an ascent of 1,022 m and a descent of 1,016 m. The course constant is listed separately as ordinary (23), and the standard time is calculated as 6 hours 1 minute. Break time was 26 minutes; the day’s total matches the 4 hours 10 minutes.
The account describes heading straight east from Obakodake up to Kasasuteyama, another peak among the Kansai 100 Famous Mountains. About two hours had been expected from Obakodake, but navigation indicated two and a half hours to arrival. A wrong road and a narrow, difficult route extended travel time alone beyond three hours. Arrival was just after 1 p.m., with about four hours left until sunset.
The hike started immediately, moving quickly from the outset so a return in roughly four hours might still be possible, while allowing for a night hike if needed. Skies were cloudy and autumn leaves were in their final stage; the route was walked while enjoying the views to some extent. The spreading views from Kasasuteyama were enjoyed. A fast descent allowed a return before dark. The report notes that time must be planned more carefully in future.
