Mt. Tsurumi
Experience the seasonal beauty of Beppu’s iconic mountain
Standing 1,375 meters tall, Mount Tsurumi is located in Beppu City and offers stunning natural scenery throughout the year. In spring, around 2,000 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino cherry trees, are in bloom, making it a popular destination for cherry blossom viewing. From mid-May to early June, approximately 5,000 Kyushu azalea create a vibrant pink carpet on the slopes, creating breathtaking views that are perfect for photography. In summer, temperatures are about 10 degrees cooler than in the lowlands, making it a favored spot for escaping the heat. When autumn comes around, visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll while taking in the vibrant fall foliage. Winter brings the rare sight of rime ice, a unique phenomenon in Kyushu.
From Beppu Kogen Station at the mountain’s base, the Beppu Ropeway will take you to the summit in about 10 minutes, where you can marvel at panoramic views. Walking trails at the summit feature various shrines dedicated to different deities, and the climb to the peak is only about 10 to 15 minutes, making it an inviting challenge. With well-maintained hiking paths, Mount Tsurumi offers enjoyable experiences for everyone, from beginners to seasoned climbers.
