The summit features the distinctive Five-Story Rock (五丈岩), a massive natural rock formation. It can be accessed from two routes: Mizugaki (west approach) or Ōdarumi Pass (east approach).

The Mizugaki route runs year-round from Nirasaki Station, while the Ōdarumi Pass route is a seasonal reservation-only bus from Enzan Station.
