The Mominoki Forest Park is located in Yoshiwa Village, which is 30 kilometers northwest of Hiroshima City, neighbouring both Hikimi and Nishiki Towns in Yamaguchi Prefecture. This 400-hectare fir tree forest park is about 900-1,000 meters above sea level, and one of the most popular mountain parks in our prefecture. Other than hiking trails to the 1,072-meter Komuroi Mountain, there are a number of recreational facilities such as athletic courses, cycling courses, camping sites (including an auto camping place), tennis courts and a lodging place named Mominoki-so (fir tree villa). The round trip from Mominoki-so to Mt.Komuroi is about 2.5 hours. ◆Getting there: Take the Nishi-Hiroshima bypass to Miyauchi in Hatsukaichi City, At the Miyauchi intersection, turn right to Tsuta.
