The first part of your hike would be along a sealed, narrow lane. Then, once you arrive at your track, it is then unsealed, dirt with some roack to clamber over. The track is moderately steep so, if you are heading to Mt Sajiki, don’t push the pace.
As most hiking areas throughout Japan are maintained by volunteers, the signage isn’t what it should be. There are markers on trees, and the tracks can be in good condition, you need to take care and carry your map with you for reference.

Suggested Lodging
Kyoto City would be your best bet, regarding accommodation but, as I discovered, there is a hotel of sorts at the bus-stop at Kumogahata. Booking.comSuggested Dining
Again, Kyoto would be your best bet but, as I also discovered, there is an eatery of sorts near the bus-stop.
Companies That Provide Tours on This Trail
Not aware of any tour company that would bring you here, not to say there isn't one. But, if you are keen to check-out Mt Sajiki, drop a line to Kevin, and I might be able to accompany you.
