INFO
While there's a well-maintained mountain trail to the summit, some sections are quite steep. We recommend wearing comfortable hiking shoes. Also, be mindful of changing weather conditions and come prepared.
Komomojiyama, a 366-meter mountain in Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is known for its breathtaking views of Kokura. Well-maintained trails make it an easy climb for everyone. The trails are relatively gentle, making it accessible even for those without extensive hiking experience. While there are several trails, the most common is from the Komomojiyama trailhead. The approximately 1-hour hike from the trailhead to the summit is enjoyable, surrounded by abundant nature. From the summit, you'll be treated to a magnificent panorama—Kokura's cityscape, the Kanmon Straits, the Genkai Sea, and the cityscape stretching from Kokura to Moji. The mountain's western exposure makes the twilight views especially spectacular. The light intensity is among the best in Kyushu, offering a truly impressive nightscape. Komomojiyama offers the dual appeal of majestic daytime views and a dazzling nighttime spectacle. The summit also boasts an observation deck and rest area where you can relax and fully appreciate the scenery. Don't miss the chance to experience both the stunning views of Kokura and Kyushu's top-class night scenery.
