灰ヶ峰, Mountain summit in Kure City, Japan
Haigamine Mountain rises to an elevation of 737 meters, featuring a distinctive white dome weather radar station measuring 6.7 meters in diameter at its peak.
During World War II, the mountain hosted naval anti-aircraft artillery installations for harbor defense, with the current observation deck built upon these former military foundations.
The mountain summit offers views of city lights forming the word 'Kure' in hiragana script, leading to a local tradition about couples finding marriage luck.
The summit parking area accommodates only six vehicles, requiring visitors to plan their arrival times carefully, especially during sunrise viewing periods.
The mountain houses the Hiroshima Local Meteorological Observatory Haigamine Weather Radar Station, providing meteorological data for the entire region.
