Straddling the border between Yufu and Beppu, this iconic 1,583-meter stratovolcano is beloved for its striking dual summits, Higashi-mine and the slightly taller Nishi-mine. Hikers can journey along scenic trails that wind through golden grasslands and craggy alpine paths to reach the peaks. From the top, adventurers are rewarded with sweeping 360-degree vistas of Oita Prefecture, the surrounding mountain ranges, and Beppu Bay. It serves as an invigorating outdoor excursion that perfectly complements a relaxing soak in the nearby hot springs.
