Mt. Suzugamine, situated in Nishi Ward about seven kilometers west of Central Hiroshima,
is a popular hiking spot at a convenient distance from railway stations. Take a bus for Yamada-danchi for 10 minutes to Yawata-Higashi Primary School from the north exit of JR Itsukaichi Station. Then cross the road and enter the narrow road at a foreign car shop. It leads you to a mountain trail to the 320-meter high West Peak of Mt. Suzugamine. It takes about one hour. You can continue to walk for 20 minutes along the mountain ridges to the 312- meter East Peak of the mountain. You can see JR Shin-Inokuchi Station and Alpark shopping center just below the East Peak. Go down to Shin-Inokuchi Station, passing Suzugamine Ikoi no Mori (鈴が峰憩の森), which literally means Mt. Suzugamine Relaxation Forest. Getting there: Take a train on the Sanyo Line, and get off at Itsukaichi Station. Click this link to see a map of Mt. Suzugamine (Nihongo).
