Mt. Taishi

大師山

Katsuyama, Fukui · Elevation 550 m

Mt. Taishi is a 550 m peak east of central Katsuyama City in Fukui Prefecture, named for the Daishi-dō shrine dedicated to Taichō Daishi on its mid-slope. A hexagonal stone lantern erected in 1680 still stands at the summit, which looks out over Katsuyama and the distant Hakusan Range. The Echizen Daibutsu at Taishizan Seidaiji Temple — billed as Japan's largest seated Buddha — rises at the foot, and every 13 August the Katase community holds a torch-lit ascent for the Obon festival. The peak is included in the Fukui Prefecture Mountain Guide.
