Visit Oita

Kirikabu Mountain derives its name from its appearance, resembling a tree stump, and the local folklore of a giant cutting down a massive tree. As a cherished symbol of Kusu Town, the mountain holds a special place in the hearts of its residents.
At the summit, you'll find the iconic Heidi's Swing, inspired by the world famous anime Heidi, Girl of the Alps. Swinging high gives you a thrilling sensation of flying into the sky, accompanied by a refreshing breeze and breathtaking views of lush greenery that will leave you feeling rejuvenated.
On clear days, visitors can enjoy paragliding for a unique aerial experience, as well as hiking, sketching, or capturing the stunning scenery through photography.
The mountaintop observation facility, KIRIKABUHOUSE, features a glass-walled interior that offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Seasonal decorations and displays add variety to each visit, so be sure to check out what’s on during your trip!
