遥拝所

Practitioners of mountain worship who are unable to climb to the summit come to this torii gate to pray. Ahead is the Hachozaka-goya hut. (Distance from Joju-sha Shrine to this point: 1,000 m)
It is another 800 m from this point to the Zenjagamori-goya rest hut, which lies just past the trial chain. The strenuous trail winds up steep hills through old-growth forest.

Yoakashi-toge pass (2 hours from the upper ropeway station)

夜明峠

The name of this pass means "staying up through the night." Before reliable trails made it easier to climb the mountain, climbers would pass the night here before attempting the summit.
