Taketa, Oita · Elevation 1,791 m

Mount Kujū is a volcanic group spanning Taketa City and Kokonoe Town in Oita Prefecture. Its highest peak, Nakadake in Taketa, rises to 1,791 m and is the highest point on the Kyushu mainland. A prominent mountain area within Aso-Kuju National Park, it includes Kuju, Nakadake, Taisen and Mimata. Dense colonies of Miyama kirishima azaleas, designated a National Natural Monument, turn the upper slopes pink from late May to mid-June. Wetlands such as Bogatsuru, Amagaike and the Ramsar-listed Tadewara are also highlights. Chojabaru Visitor Center serves as a base for routes starting at Makinoto Pass, Yoshibu and Oike.
