Cycled to Etajima's Mitsutaka-yama Battery Ruins in search of a photogenic spot!
I'm Murakami, a staff member who felt out of shape after a 200km ride at the end of the year.
So, I went for a bike ride to "Takayama Battery Remains," one of Etajima's tourist attractions.
I started by taking a ferry from Ujina Port to Kirekushi!

It's about 30km from Kirekushi to the battery remains. You can get there in 1 to 2 hours.
There was a cyclist's rest stop along the way, and the ocean view right in front was amazing.


The battery remains are located at the summit of Mt. Takayama.
The average gradient is 7%, and it's 3.5km from the base to the destination. The elevation is 350m.
It was a distance that could be climbed in about 10 minutes.
The buildings constructed with civil engineering techniques from the Meiji era
buried under natural vegetation,
made me feel as if I had wandered into the world of Laputa.
There were so many photogenic spots that I couldn't stop pressing the shutter button 📸




The Takayama Battery Remains are not only for viewing the exterior,
but you can also enter the buildings.


This photo was taken
at the site of the "barracks" at the panoramic observation deck.
If you take a photo here, your beloved bike will look amazing.
When you come cycling to the Takayama Battery Remains,
please take a commemorative photo 👍
On the way back, I took a route through Kure instead of the same path, as it would be boring.
Although the distance ended up being longer than expected,
I was able to see huge transport ships and warships that are rarely seen,
which was great 👍
