If you take the hiking course from the east of Magose-toge Pass you will end up at Mt. Tengurasan; if you take the course to the west you will end up at Mt. Binshiyama and Zo-no-Se. These are large outcroppings of the rock on either path that allow you to take in the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding areas. The steep path to Mt. Tengurasan takes about 20 minutes and rises up to about 522 meters in elevation. After climbing up the chain ladder and reaching the summit of the mountain, you are greeted with sweeping panoramic views. To the north, you can see the Choshi-gawa River running through the mountains, and to the south, you can see the cityscape of Owase City, a small island sitting in Owase Bay, and the Kumano-nada Sea.

The hiking course to the west is a hellishly long staircase that rises up 599 meters to the peak of Mt. Binshiyama and Zo-no-Se, and takes about one hour. You can take in the entirety of the Kumano-nada Sea, with Owase City stretching out to your left, Mt. Tengurasan directly in front, and Choshi-gawa River to your right. This site has been gaining popularity as a photo spot because it feels as if you are on top of the sky when you stand on Zo-no-Se.
