Mt. Raizan

雷山

Itoshima, Fukuoka · Elevation 955 m

Mt. Raizan (955 m) rises on the border of Itoshima City in Fukuoka and Fuji Town in Saga's Saga City, on the Sefuri Range; its name ("Thunder Mountain") comes from the thunder god enshrined on its slopes. Halfway up the north face stands the ancient temple Raizan Sennyo-ji Daihiō-in, popularly known as Raizan-Kannon, home to a wooden Senju-Kannon statue designated an Important Cultural Property. The summit offers sweeping views from Hakata Bay and the Genkai Sea across the Sefuri Range, and the standard outing combines it with neighbouring Mt. Iwara on a ridge traverse. It is counted among the 100 Famous Mountains of Kyūshū, with trails maintained on the Itoshima Tourism Association's "Iwara-Raizan-Hagane" map.
