Hinoyama Park, Panoramic park in Shimonoseki, Japan.

At an elevation of 268 meters, this mountain park provides views over Kanmon Strait, the Seto Inland Sea, and the Sea of Japan from its summit.

The name 'Fire Mountain' originates from ancient signal fires lit at the summit to warn Kyoto of approaching enemies during feudal times.

The park features 25,000 azalea plants and 1,000 cherry trees, with special tulip bulbs gifted from Istanbul, Turkey, Shimonoseki's sister city.

Visitors can reach the summit via a ropeway operating every 20 minutes between 10:00 and 17:00, or through the free Parkway road system.

The park earned recognition as a Japanese Night View Heritage site, displaying the illuminated strait waters and surrounding urban landscapes after sunset.
