Hike to Hongusan passing by mt Takatori, starting and ending in Sasamuta shrine.
Sasamuta shrine was beautiful, took the path passing by the ponds with many frogs singing. Then the path goes through beautiful bamboo forest. Took a little detour to reach Takatori-yama. Then the path opens up and goes around a lumberjack area. Slowly nice views of Oita city come to view, there is also a little bench further up. Later there was a proper viewpoint with benches and beautiful views of the whole city and the industrial area. Reached the little shrine in the forest and then the summit of Hongusan. There was a nice wooden platform as a viewpoint. Since it was kinda late I didn't want to press on to do the loop, so I headed back through the same way.
Will come back to complete the loop on the other side. It was beautiful and no other hikers even through it was a weekend.
