津波戸山 (つわどさん), is probably not the most exciting mountain in Kyushu if measured by elevation, that is 529m. Nevertheless it is well worth checking out if you're anywhere near Oita prefecture. What makes this minor mount worth climbing are the straight wall-like cliffs, numerous ropes, chains, and other challenging parts, which often demand 4x4 advancement.
Tsuwado-san is can be easily accessed by train. From Oita-city station, take Nakatsu bound train until the unmanned Nishiyashiki-station (西屋敷、にしやしき). Be sure to memorize the return timetables, it may be a long wait otherwise.
The walk between Nishiyashiki station and the beginning of track takes about 25 minutes. This route, discovered and explained to me by our German friend, can be somewhat confusing at first. Here's, this may help: the path in Google Maps.
