Mount Uomidake
魚見岳
A small hill lookout north of Ibusuki's hot-spring district, overlooking Chirinjima sandbar, Kinko Bay and the city. Cherry blossoms and azaleas bloom here in spring.
Mount Uomidake rises about 215 meters north of central Ibusuki. It takes its name from the fishermen who once watched fish schools from here. The Uomidake Natural Park at the summit has a viewing platform overlooking Chirinjima Island and its sandbar, the Osumi Peninsula across Kinko Bay, the Ibusuki hot-spring district and, in the distance, Mount Kaimon. It is the best spot for photographing the full view of Chirinjima. In spring, about 3,000 cherry trees and azaleas bloom in succession, making it a well-known local spot for flower viewing. Cars can drive up to the summit parking lot, free of charge. It is about 15 minutes by car from Ibusuki Station and can be scheduled alongside a visit to Chirinjima.
