Summary:
Great trail for novice through expert riders. The trail winds it's way through a heavily wooded area behind the Ikego Navy Housing area. The trail is predominantly under the shade of trees for about 90% of it's length. The terrain is very hilly, with some short technical climbs and descents. Several of the local Japanese bike shops bring all skill levels of riders here.

This trail offers great scenery, and an incredible mix of terrain, from gentle hiking paths, heavily rooted sections, mud, rock, slick hard packed clay, and some intense downhill dry riverbeds at the very end.

Be mindful of hikers, especially on the weekends!

Recommended Route:
At the top of the stairs go left. (The right fork ends after a few hundred yards). Follow the trail for several miles till you come to the orchard. Follow the trail around the bowl of the orchard. Either climb the steep stairs leading up towards the electrical tower, or follow the trail 50 yards to the left and try your skill at riding up this hill. Both routes lead to the same spot. A picnic area lies to the left and the trail continues down to right. You will come to a fork in the trail. If you continue straight (right) it will lead down into more woods, and ultimately to the "creek beds" for some mild to wild Down Hill. To the left leads down and out to the public roads. Heading (right) towards the "creek beds" you will come to a few forks in the trail. Take a right at the first fork. You should pass a temple that is dow and to your right. After a tricky, heavily ruted section of slick clay you will exit a small chute and be at a fork. Stay to the left continuing down. At the bottom of a short and twisting rocky section you will be at another intersection. Turn almost 180 degrees to the left and follow this path to the intersections of the "creek bed".

Summary:
A bit up and down at first until you get to the orchard, then its all downhill. Stick to the recommended route above, there are other routes, but they become unrideable as in way too steep.

Recommended Route:
See original route. And remember to watch out for hikers and other bikers.

Summary:
this trail does not have the clay like gumbo of other trails in this area, however, the slick moss on the rocks more than makes up for it harsh risers and climbs will wind you however the view in the area is great. Try Night rides in august around full moon time gives great night time view of Mt Fuji, with moon in back ground. Take right fork of trail to connect with Tennen trail system, or if need a quick thrill take left fork. Right fork goes on sandstone to main road area, and with about 2 Km of roadwork ties into Tennen Trail System. Right gives slick rocks with 1~3 foot drops on medium downhill (be carefull of hikers on both courses)

Recommended Route:
follow directions on original review to ridge line. follow trail to Kake orchards go up hill by power lines rest at top by benchs then the downhill starts follow down to temple area SKIRT TEMPLE ARE BY GOING LEFT. DO NOT ENTER TEMPLE. This brings you down to intersection of Kirei Doshi (T in trail) go right for beginers intermediate, go left for advanced/Total lunatics)
