Mount Onidake
鬼岳
A domed volcano beside Fukue city, covered in grassland, with views over Fukue Port and the nearby small islands.
Mount Onidake is a 315-meter cinder cone covered in grass with no trees to block the view, its shape like a green dome. From the car park halfway up, it takes about 10 to 20 minutes on foot to reach the crater rim, which offers 360-degree views of Fukue city, the harbor, and the Goto Islands. In spring, people often fly traditional Goto kites here. At the foot of the mountain is the Onidake Observatory, which holds night observations on a regular schedule. It is about a 10-minute drive from Fukue city and admission is free. The summit has no shade, so bring sun protection and be ready for wind.
