Mt. Tateishi
Located in Keya, Mt. Tateishi is a low mountain with an elevation of 210 meters. It is one of the most popular mountains in Itoshima, which offers trails for a wide range of skill levels, and can be enjoyed even by beginner hikers. As you continue along the trail, the view gradually opens up and the path changes into a rugged rocky area. As you walk while taking in the beautiful Genkai Sea and Keya scenery known as “Itoshima Blue,” a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view unfolds near the summit, where you can see Keya no Oto, known as one of Japan’s three great basalt caves, and Iki Island beyond the sea with nothing blocking the view.
The hike isn’t too tiring, but the view from the top is awesome. You can look straight out at the ocean, and the weather really makes a big difference.
It’s perfect for a half-day trip if you want a light hike without pushing yourself too hard. Great for walking, taking photos, and just relaxing.
