Mount Hi, Summit in Shimonoseki, Japan
Mount Hi rises 268.2 meters above Shimonoseki, featuring multiple hiking trails that wind through varied terrain with steep inclines and rocky paths.
The mountain served as a military fortification site from 1890, housing part of the Shimonoseki Fortress complex until public access resumed in 1948.
Local traditions connect Mount Hi to fire deities, with the mountain's Japanese name, Hino Yama, translating to Fire Mountain in English.
The Shimonoseki Ropeway provides direct access to the summit, where visitors find observation points and broadcasting facilities overlooking Kanmon Straits.
Weather cameras installed at the peak transmit real-time conditions of both the mountain area and the adjacent Kanmon Bridge to local media stations.
