Mount Sarakura

Mount Sarakura rises 622 meters above sea level, offering views across Kitakyushu city, stretching 40 kilometers from east to west and 10 kilometers north to south.

The mountain gained recognition in 2003 when its observation platform was designated as part of the New Three Major Night Views of Japan collection.

The summit features multiple broadcasting stations that transmit television and radio signals to residents throughout the Kitakyushu metropolitan region.

Visitors reach the summit through a 1,100-meter cable car journey followed by a monorail slope car, completing the ascent in approximately 10 minutes.

The mountain observation deck presents the largest number of lights in a night view worldwide, creating a panorama known as the 10 Million Dollar Night View.
