Mount Tsurumi, in Beppu, Oita-prefecture

 

Soaring 1375 metres into the sky, Mount Tsurumi is a breath taking mountain overlooking

Beppu that offers some decent hiking, rare flora and outstanding vistas. 

Visitors can take a ropeway 800 metres up and revel in being surrounded by acres of

rolling greenery.

On clear days, you can see as far as the Kuju Mountains, a famous mountain range that runs

between Oita and Kumamoto-prefectures.
