[2025 Shimonoseki Attraction] Travel Guide for Hinoyama Park (Updated Mar)

Spring is Japan's cherry blossom season, and it is also the most gorgeous time of the year at Hinodeyama Park. The cherry blossoms, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms and other flowers in the park are in full bloom, forming a colorful sea of ​​flowers. Who wouldn’t be confused when seeing this😘 【Hinoyama Park】 The park is located on the top of Hinoyama (268.2 meters above sea level) in the southern part of Shimonoseki City and is designated as part of the national park by the country. 😎 The name of Fire Mountain comes from the fact that in ancient times, there was a "beacon tower" on the top of the mountain where fireworks were lit to convey important messages. During the war, it became an important military fortress and ordinary people were prohibited from entering. Later, Fire Mountain became a famous tourist attraction, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Kanmon Strait by driving or taking the ropeway. 🔥 📍Address: 3-31 Kawamachi, Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture Take a bus from Shimonoseki Station to Hinode Mountain Ropeway Station (Hinoyama), walk 30 minutes after getting off or take the ropeway to reach the top of the mountain😍😍 💰Average consumption: Free entry🏖️🏖️ 🕰️Business hours: Open all day About the exhibition period of "Hinoyama Park": April: Yoshino cherry, wild cherry and other 1,000 cherry trees are in full bloom, and tulips are also in full bloom! ⭐️⭐️ May: In early May, more than 25,000 peonies are in bloom!

#springblossom Blessed with very good weather, the blue sky and Kanmon Strait, tulips, cherry blossoms, it was the best location. There were a lot of people with their dogs 🐕 I was taking pictures. Despite the weekdays, I waited for 30 minutes for many cars to enter the parking lot. But it was worth the wait☺️A nice little park atop Hinoyama. There is a small gift shop, viewing platform and eating area at the top also. There is a cable car line up to the top, but in all my visits I never used it. The view from the top of the mountain is pretty spectacular. You can take in the whole of the Kanmon strait, looking across to Kyushu. You also get great views towards Shimonoseki city and Korea (though obviously Korea isn't visible). There is also what I assume to be an old artillery fort with old bunkers and gun emplacements that you can explore. Quite creepy at night.

Address: Japan, 751-0813 Yamaguchi, Shimonoseki. Getting there: I would recommend you to drive or take taxi here as there is car park space provided. Highlights: Hinoyama Park is a park at the top of Mount Hinoyama, overlooking the Kanmon Strait. A ropeway leads from near the Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel entrance to the mountain-top park where an observation deck allows visitors to enjoy panoramic views of Shimonoseki and Moji across the strait as well as of the nearby mountain ranges. Those visiting by car can also drive up the mountain. There is a small gift shop, viewing platform and eating area at the top. 😊🤩 Opening hours: 10am to 5pm daily #bucketlistreboot #traveljapan #gooutside
