Hinoyama (elevation: 268m) has one of the best views in Kanmon.
To reach the summit, you can either take the expressway (free) or the ropeway (in operation from the middle of March to late November).
You can see the Hibikinada islands, Kanmon Bridge, Ganryujima Island, and Mojiko on the opposite shore from the mountain.
There are many visitors here throughout the year.
There are about a thousand trees of Somei-Yoshino and wild cherries in a wide area that entertain visitors.
Also, the design of the Turkish Tulip garden, the Orhan Suyolcu Memorial Garden, is based on the design inspired by the Bosphorus Strait and represents the friendship between Istanbul and Shimonoseki with a rainbow bridge of tulips.
