You can search for 'Tenpaizan Historical Natural Park' on Google Map to get to the park from which you start hiking up. Depending on the line you are taking, the nearest train station is either Futsukaichi or Murasaki. In the park, there are two toilets, one near the lake, and another one further in which is near to where the hike starts. There are signs in the park with maps of the circuit that the hike can be done. I took the anti clockwise direction. The path on the right is steeper and more direct, while the path on the left is gentler and wide but winding. My knees have degenerated and there are parts of the hike on the right path that I would have problems if I were descending rather than ascending. Of course you can also ascend and descend using only one of the paths. Most people took the left path up and down. The right path, while more difficult, offers some detours, including a small waterfall. It can also lead to a lake, but that's much further away. The top has a observation deck and you can even see Fukuoka Tower.

Amazing view of nagasaki City at night. Get here by coach, 5min walk from Mt Inasa ropeway station or Taxi. Entrance is free at the observatory. Plenty of people at night but he lookout platform is quite spacious. Highly recommend if your in nagasaki This view is only second to Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. You don't realise how big Nagasaki is until you come up here. Definitely come here at night instead of daytime

I wanted to take my time climbing Mt. Kaimondake because I’m almost recovered from my knee injury, so I took the 9.10am bus from Ibusuki to Kaimon Station. While walking to the trail head on my way in from the main road, I was greeted warmly by a lady sweeping in the Shinto shrine at the bottom of the mountain. At about 11am, I started my slow ascent and reached the top of the mountain around 1.20pm. There were not many people on the trek but I adopted a snail pace anyway. Sadly, this is one of those trails that doesn’t have many nice viewpoints enroute, even though the view from the top is indeed marvellous. At the summit, you’ll actually be standing higher than Tokyo Skytree itself! The curious sight of small groups of trekkers sitting around eating their bentos at the summit was accompanied by the fragrance of cooking noodles, making me regret not bringing some food of my own as well. I only had crackers and water, so I made the most of them while waiting in vain for the clouds to clear. At 3.30pm, I started down at a brisk pace because I don’t want to get caught trekking after sundown. I reached the base of the mountain around 6pm. Most of the nearby restaurants seem to be closed so I had to walk out further to find food. End up taking the 9pm train back to Ibusuki after eating a hearty local teppenyaki dinner some way down the main road.
