Shiroyama
A symbol of Saiki City that continues to be loved by its citizens
Located in the heart of Saiki City, Shiroyama is a picturesque mountain standing 144 meters tall. Surrounded by lush nature, chinquapin and oak trees adorned it with seasonal beauty throughout the year. In summer, the chinquapin flowers have a golden shimmer, and from winter to spring camellia japonica bloom. The mountain features four well-maintained hiking trails, each leading to the summit in about 30 minutes. For your hike, comfortable athletic shoes and clothing are recommended.
Shiroyama is also home to the ruins of Saiki Castle, constructed in 1606 by the samurai Mori Takamasa. Although the castle keep was destroyed by fire, the stone walls and gates remain, offering a glimpse into its former grandeur. The impressive gate has become a popular tourist attraction and a significant cultural landmark for Saiki City.
