Mt. Inugatake

犬ヶ岳

Buzen, Fukuoka · Elevation 1,131 m

Mt. Inu-ga-take is a 1,130.8 m peak straddling the boundary between Buzen City in Fukuoka Prefecture and Nakatsu City in Ōita Prefecture, the highest summit of the Buzen range. The area lies within Yaba-Hita-Hikosan Quasi-National Park, and the Kyūshū Nature Trail runs along its crest. The natural rhododendron forest between Mt. Inu-ga-take and Oitsuri Pass — Tsukushi-shakunage of about 30 ha — is a designated National Natural Monument, blooming in pale pink between late April and early May. The mountain shares the area with the Shugendō sacred peak of Kubote-san and ravine features such as the Osoroshi Gorge and Meoto Falls. It is listed in the Kyūshū 100 Famous Mountains, the prefectural climbing guides for Fukuoka and Ōita, the 2017 100 Low Mountains of Japan and other selections, and ranks as a representative peak of the Buzen region.
