Mt. Sarakura
Fully enjoy a night view worth 10 billion dollars
Mt. Sarakura is the most famous night view spot in Kitakyushu City. After successively taking a cable car and a slope car, you arrive on the top of the 622-meter-high mountain, where the observation deck offers a panoramic view of Kitakyushu City. The view spread out beneath your eyes is called a "night view worth 10 billion dollars," recognized as one of Japan's new three greatest night views. In the restaurant at the observation deck, you can enjoy meals and an over-200° panoramic view.
The Tenku Dome built on the mountain top is illuminated mainly on weekends, and very popular as a dating spot. In April 2015, the top pf Mt. Sarakura and the night view from the mountain were recognized as "Lovers' sanctuaries."
With a mountain-climbing route, Mt. Sarakura is also loved by local people as a place to enjoy mountaineering lightheartedly.
