Very, very remote. This area hosted theKunisaki Art Festival a few years ago, and as a result there is an iconic Anthony Gormley statue looking out to sea. After a little winding around, the mountain itself is very steep but short in distance. It’s part of a longer pilgrimage, I believe, but I haven’t done it.
