Description by Keita Kurakami: The first crux is V9 big dyno, and then you can take a short rest but it not good rest. Then you climb 27 crimpy moves 5.14c section. I felt it’s not 5.14d, but I can’t give 5.15a grade so my few experience for sport route. So I graded it 5.14d / 5.15a finally.

There`s not a lot of information about climbing in Japan in English. Much of the information is only available in Japanese - or of course here on theCrag!
The Japan Free Climbing Association (http://freeclimb.jp/seibi/seibi.htm) is a good point of contact and there is a set of 5 guidebooks (all in Japanese) and an alpine guide book in English available covering all of Japan and its thousands of sport and trad routes and boulders.
