Additional details:
Best Season: This hike can be done year round, but definitely bring along a pair of crampons/ice spikes in the winter and DO NOT attempt the final chain section if conditions are icy. There are mountain leeches in the vicinity. so avoid hiking between June and August. Air pollution can be a problem in Mie Prefecture, so try to climb on a clear day with good air quality so you can get good views.
Access: Kabuto station (加太駅) is on the JR Kansai line that connects Kamo in Kyoto and Kameyama in Mie. Trains on this trains are really infrequent and the train line is often closed for construction and during heavy rain. Make sure you plan accordingly.
