Field notes
The walk is presented as a sequence of landmarks, from Magome’s stone ramp to the pass and a volunteer-run teahouse where visitors can leave a coin and sign the book. The page also gives practical timing cues: museums close around 17:00, the last bus leaves at five, and it suggests a 07:00 walk before breakfast for a quieter visit.
