Mount Hachiman

八幡岳

Karatsu, Saga · Elevation 764 m

A 763.6-meter peak in the Tsukushi Mountains of northwestern Saga Prefecture, straddling Karatsu, Imari, Takeo and Taku cities. Its base is Paleogene sediment capped by basalt, leaving sheer cliffs just below the summit. Tradition holds that Minamoto no Tametomo (Chinzei Hachiro) enshrined a stone Hachiman shrine at the top—the source of the mountain's name—and the surrounding area was designated Hachimandake Prefectural Natural Park in 1970. The summit looks north to the Genkai Sea and south to the Saga Plain, the Ariake Sea, Mount Kurokami and the distant Tara and Unzen ranges; from late July through early August colonies of *Lycoris sanguinea* paint the slopes orange. A maintained course of the Kyushu Nature Trail (Saga-michi) reaches the summit, and the peak is included in the Saga Prefecture Mountain Guide (Bunken Tozan Guide) and the 1000 Mountains of Japan.
