Mount Fukuchi
福智山
Kitakyūshū, Fukuoka / Nōgata-shi, Fukuoka / Fukuchi, Fukuoka · Elevation 900 m
Mount Fukuchi (900.6 m) is the principal peak of the Fukuchi Range, rising at the meeting point of Kitakyushu's Kokuraminami Ward, Nōgata City, and Fukuchi Town in Fukuoka Prefecture; it lies within the Kitakyushu Quasi-National Park. The mountain gave its name to the town of Fukuchi and is regarded as a symbol of the Chikuhō region, with a summit panorama spanning east to the Suō Sea, west to the Genkai Sea, and far across to Mount Hiko and the Sefuri Range. Fukuchi Town publishes an official 'Fukuchi-yama Trekking Guide' covering a range of routes — from the beginner-friendly Ueno-goe trail through Ueno Gorge, to the intermediate Hakuun Line via Takatori-yama and the long Ushikiri ridge traverse. The peak is counted among both the Kyushu 100 Famous Mountains and the Buzen Six.
