Mount Sarakura

皿倉山

Kitakyūshū, Fukuoka · Elevation 622 m

Mount Sarakura is a 622.2-metre peak in Yahatahigashi Ward of Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, the principal summit of the Hobashira Natural Park within Kitakyushu Quasi-National Park and the highest of the four Hobashira peaks. A funicular climbs from the base to the upper station in about six minutes, where a slope car continues for a further three minutes to the summit observation deck, opening a 200-degree view that has earned Kitakyushu a place among Japan's new top-three night-view cities (the so-called 'ten-billion-dollar night view'). Walking trails are also maintained from the JR Yahata Station side.
