Hiking to Mt. Tachibana

Mt. Tachibana (367 m) is located at the northeast of Fukuoka city, separating Fukuoka city and Shingu town. Because of its proximity and well-maintained climbing path, Mt. Tachibana is a very popular mountain for family hiking. Usually it takes 40 to 60 min to get its peak from Tachibana-guchi, a start point.
I enjoyed hiking there this afternoon with many voices (songs) of birds, especially those of the bush warblers (Uguisu, in Japanese). 
The movies below are to hear their voices and some sounds of small water stream.
The Fukuoka city view from the peak is quite nice, and today I was lucky enough to come across beautiful flowers of wisteria in the garden of a temple "Baigaku-ji" at the Tachibana-guchi starting point.
