Hiurayama is a 345.4-meter mountain located in Kaita-cho, Aki-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture. Beloved by local residents, it serves as a symbol of Kaita-cho.
Hiurayama is easily accessible from the city, making it a convenient spot for casual hiking and picnics.
From the summit, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Kaita-cho's cityscape and the islands dotting Hiroshima Bay.
On a clear day, you might even be able to see Miyajima Island in the distance, offering a truly magnificent vista.
The walking path is lined with a variety of trees, including zelkova, Japanese bayberry, Japanese maple, and cherry blossoms (Oshima zakura), providing beautiful scenery throughout the year.
Spring brings a riot of cherry blossoms, while autumn paints the mountain in vibrant autumn foliage.
Hiurayama is a tranquil and nature-filled escape, perfect for those seeking a relaxing break.
The mountain also boasts several historical sites. For example, the Hiurayama Shrine at the summit has been a place of worship for local people for generations.
Hiurayama is a highly recommended sightseeing spot where you can experience both nature and history.
