Hiking starts near Chikura port, where you can see strangely shaped stones above the surface of the ocean. Walk along the coastline about 2km, then walk towards the small peak of Mt. Takatsuka. Climb about 20 minutes in the broadleaf grove to the top of the mountain. From the summit, you will be able to see the Pacific Ocean and our goal, the Breeze Kingdom. Descend the mountain and have fun hiking in a field of flowers. Many flowers (poppies, pot marigolds, snapdragons, stocks, rape flowers and more) produce a spring atmosphere. Going back to the coastline, cross the 150m long Chikura Bridge and our goal is only 15 minutes ahead. The Breeze Kingdom is a roadside station, which includes restaurants, shops, a huge park, tide pool and a fishing ship display. You might have a chance to taste organic edible flowers there, and flower picking will be available across the street.
