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.
